What you can't have and what we can't see and what we hope we will not see is that we get into these talks, and these talks are then delayed.
If there are five that are ready to go right now, they should be released right now.
What happens after that? And that is, how do we ensure that we can create a – and help build a Gaza free of terrorism, free of Hamas, free of anything like Hamas?
Hamas has – obviously, look, we're dealing with Hamas, OK? So let's take that with – for what it is.

I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let’s get this done, FAST.
Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off.
This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East.
Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that.
When Hamas confirms, the Ceasefire will be IMMEDIATELY effective.
Today in Chicago, members of our brave law enforcement were attacked — rammed and boxed in by ten vehicles, including an attacker with a semi-automatic weapon.
You know that somebody is funding them and organizing them and that they’re being paid.
