Mr. Chair, there was an argument made by the opposition just now that what we are saying is there should be no rebuilding of Gaza. That is not what we are saying at all. Gazans can rebuild Gaza. Any other country that wants to participate in rebuilding Gaza at some point can participate. What I am saying is not $1, not 1 ounce of gold bullion, not 1 euro, not one anything coming from the taxpayers of the United States of America. They should not be burdened with rebuilding Gaza. Americans should not have to pay for rebuilding infrastructure in Gaza. When do we get to rebuild American infrastructure? Why don't we prioritize that? Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
