00:00HUMERA.
00:01HUMERA.
00:02HUMERA.
00:03This is – in all honesty – and if I was on Broadway, it might be a different situation
00:08– it's kind of hard to see.
00:11So you'll have to forgive me in the sense of that.
00:13HUMERA.
00:14Yes.
00:15Thanks, Tammy.
00:16Just a few follow-ups to colleagues' questions.
00:20You not yet asked about Defense Minister Katz's comments about annexation.
00:25I just want to make it clear, does the Trump administration support Israel annexing or
00:32holding – permanently holding territory in Gaza?
00:35And is the administration doing anything specifically to reopen the border for the flow of humanitarian
00:43aid?
00:44AMBASSADOR HALEY.
00:45Again, we're in a dynamic where there is diplomatic conversations happening.
00:48We're still working to implement ceasefires and dealing with issues and questions regarding
00:53what can happen on the ground when there's still hostilities and still conflict.
00:58I will not speak to or guess about what the President is going to do, what he's thinking.
01:05It's not my place.
01:07And the good news is we have a President and a Secretary of State, as I've mentioned
01:11a few times, that are not shy men, that you will hear from them – and you do, courtesy
01:16of social media, courtesy of statements from this department or the White House.
01:20So it is – it's certainly not my place.
01:24We want to have facts of the matter that I can state to you regarding our positions.
01:30And it is, I think as I've mentioned to many of you, after 25-plus years of being
01:37on talk radio and television where there is guessing or opinion, we can't do that.
01:44And so I'm clearly very strict in that regard.
01:47Yes, sir.
01:48QUESTION.
01:49One more on Syria?
01:50AMBASSADOR HALEY.
01:51One more on Syria.
