But like I said, I would take a little bit of a pause for the time being.

Let's let the current situation play out and then hopefully there'll be a way for it to move forward.

I think there'll definitely be communication, but words on phone calls is only worth so much.

It's really trust between people and power.

And obviously, when you're in a position of power, you represent your country and your country's interests.

But the ability to have trusting relationships where people feel like they're okay taking more risks to help each other, that's actually what's most important.

So communication, I hope for, but

deepening and trusting relationships.

That's what I believe makes progress and keeps people safe.

I mentioned this earlier, but whenever I would get a problem set in government, I'd always think through from a first principles perspective, what's the logical outcome, right?

And forget about all the reasons why it can't happen.

That's what everyone in government's always rushed to talk about.

But I do think here, number one, Israel has to have a secure environment where they don't feel threatened from Gaza.

And number two is the people in Gaza need to have an environment where they feel threatened

Like they can live a better life and have opportunities.

So that's the end state.

And so I think that the international community should come together.

I do think that the people who are usually putting blame on Israel should now realize that maybe they've been a little bit of harsh here and that Hamas has been as big a threat, if not an even bigger threat than Israel has been saying.

And I do think that if the international community comes together and unites behind Israel and really forces Hamas and their Iranian backers to stop hostilities, to stop saber rattling, to stop misrepresenting the history in order to justify their violent behavior.

And if they say instead, we want to hold you accountable, no more money.
