U.S. Vice President (Unknown)

Angel, talk as loud as you can because you've got kind of a big snout here.

Well, the president is actually making a very important point here, which is that we don't actually know even what the reality on the ground is there.

When we talk about Hamas, you're talking about 40 different cells.

It's disjointed.

Some of those cells will probably honor the ceasefire.

Many of those cells, as we saw some evidence of today, will not.

Before we actually can ensure that Hamas is properly disarmed, that's going to require, as we know, some of these Gulf Arab states to get

forces in there to actually apply some law and order and some security keeping on the ground.

So I think it would be kind of absurd for the president to say, well, Hamas is going to be disarmed three or four days from now.

We don't even have the security infrastructure in place, meaning the Gulf Arab states, our allies, don't have the security infrastructure in place yet to confirm that Hamas is disarmed until you actually go a little bit down the path

of this peace mission, of this 20-point peace plan, we're not going to be able to say with confidence that everybody is doing everything that we want them to do.
