We have a very, very tough task ahead of us, which is to disarm Hamas, but rebuild Gaza to make life better for the people in Gaza, but also to ensure that Hamas is no longer a threat to our friends in Israel.

That's not easy.

I think the prime minister knows that as well as anybody, but it's something that we're committed to in the Trump administration.

Right now, where I stand, I feel confident that we're going to be in a place where this peace lasts, where it's durable.

I think what you're seeing from our Gulf Arab friends, certainly from our Israeli friends, is a certain amount of impatience with Hamas.
