We have offered them nothing not to invade Rafah except a plan to deal more effectively with Rafah.

We assess that Hamas has recruited almost as many new militants as it has lost. That is a recipe for an enduring insurgency and perpetual war.

The response we got was unfortunately not the yes that we were looking for. A yes that virtually the entire world has given.

The bottom line is this: We want Ukraine to win.
