I don't condone the killing of civilians. I don't condone the killing of Israelis. I want to make peace and live and let live and I want to give this cease-fire the chance it deserves.
Well, I think, Anderson, what we need now is first to sustain the cease-fire, the next 72 hours are crucial. And then at the same time, we are working to extend the cease-fire for -- to make it permanent.
We have no electricity, no water, no medical supplies, 450,000 people are without shelter.
I want rockets not to be fired. I want Israel to stop bombarding Gaza because I think today, six Palestinians were killed between the West Bank in Gaza today and that's not the point here.
