Well, let's start with October 7th, because obviously what we do now must be in the context of what has happened. And as I reflect on a year ago and that 1200 people were massacred [on October 7th], young people at a festival, at a music festival, 250 hostages were taken, including Americans. Women were brutally raped. And as I said then, I maintain Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. (05:04–05:14)
