00:00Did State get involved in any manner on this?
00:02That's what I have for you.
00:03All right, Matt Lee.
00:04Who's still?
00:05He's scrolling.
00:06He's scrolling.
00:07I'm trying to find something, and I can't find it.
00:09Well, welcome to my world.
00:10Yes, Nadia.
00:11Thank you, Tammy.
00:12Two questions.
00:13On Sudan, first, the army has took over the presidential palace.
00:19Do you see a change on the ground?
00:21And what is the U.S. position regarding this development?
00:25And second, on Gaza, the Israelis are declaring that they want to annex Gaza or parts of Gaza
00:31at least.
00:32Is there any new initiative to bring them back to the negotiation table for the ceasefire?
00:36Well, first, on your first question, the SAF, the Sudanese Armed Forces, they have retaken
00:40the presidential palace in Khartoum.
00:43The ongoing fighting in Khartoum further underscores the devastating consequences of the conflict
00:47for the people of Sudan.
00:49And we continue to urge the warring parties to cease hostilities and facilitate the safe
00:55unhindered movement of life-saving humanitarian assistance.
00:59So, you know, we're watching that.
01:01I think the world should be.
01:02Much of it is watching that situation.
01:05And that seems to be an important event.
01:08But we're watching and we're aware of it.
01:10As far as Gaza, you know, look, we're still dealing with the efforts to have a ceasefire,
01:15which we had and was courtesy of Hamas, broken because of their lack of action on the parameters
01:23of the ceasefire itself.
01:25We, of course, stand by our ally Israel, as I mentioned, every day, happily so.
01:31And so I certainly won't comment on or speculate on other hypotheses of what people think is
01:38going or not going to happen.
01:40I think the main goal is, right, humanitarian supplies, the nature of the violence stopping.
01:45That is the sole focus of the nature of where we're at at this point.
01:50Well, I don't know.
01:53I'll get back to you, Said.
01:55Let's keep going here.
