We mentioned the images and the video of the Israeli hostages. What's the reaction been to seeing that? And what conditions is Hamas demanding in order to get aid to them? It was shocking. And there's outrage in Israel. These are probably the most graphic images that we've seen during this 22-month war. The hostages spoke. They were crying. One hostage said that he only gets a liter of water a day. He held up a can of food, saying that that's his food for two days. He was pleading, saying that he didn't think he was going to live much longer and begging the government, basically, to bring him home. So that really touches a raw nerve here in Israel, not only among the families but across the country. Hamas says it is willing to allow the Red Cross to visit these hostages, if Israel opens humanitarian corridor to all of Gaza and doesn't conduct airstrikes during the visits by the Red Cross. Just have to add, though, that Hamas hasn't allowed the Red Cross to visit throughout the war, because that could expose the hiding place and tunnels where those hostages are being held.

Adds to this international pressure, though, to bring the war to an end somehow. Robert Berger, great to chat with you. Joining us from Jerusalem, approaching 2:20 in the afternoon there. Thank you, Robert.
