No, Anderson. No. We don't want the rocket to be fired. We want to sustain the cease-fire. We want to extend the cease-fire and we're exerting every possible effort to do that.
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.
Now the United States, the President acts more Israeli than the Israelis.
