SHOTLIST: WASHINGTON DC, US (APR. 10, 2025) (ANADOLU – ACCESS ALL) 1. SOUNDBITE (English) US State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce TALKING AT PRESS BRIEFING SAYING: “Well, these are these. I think it's fair to say that this is a region that has been in turmoil because of the support of death squads in Iran. And so you have this dynamic that has been continuing and predictable and not stopping at ceasefires being broken by the same groups. That's why when we say yes, new ideas act for Gaza, and it's a new idea that could break, the doors and people free from being hostages themselves of Hamas. It's the same kind of solution that's also going to help the entire region. That is that is, if this is not an isolated framework that only fits into a corner. This is a solution that is for the region. And our regional partners, of course, understand that as well. Well, I don't know what the plan is when it comes to the content. But that is something that we would have to speculate about or guess at. And you really shouldn't do that. Obviously, there's a multitude of issues facing the region. So it's it's the details, it's not to mention about it's, not something I'm going to do, but, I think that that kind of the visit of forces is the hallmark of, President Trump's vision, when it comes to his own presidency, but also how to change, the forces in the Middle East and, to make it better for everyone there. So I know that he's looking forward to having conversations, that surround that aspect. What happens on Saturday would I, I suppose, determine whether there's more? Right now, this is a meeting that is arranged for this, not part of some larger scheme or framework. It is a meeting to determine whether or not Iran is serious. And so that clearly would be the goal of that singular meeting and effort as far as, the arrangements or (…) I don't have that for you, and I'm not going to speculate. So, I'm talking about the people in the region, the people who live in the Gaza Strip. That's who we're talking about. The people who face a danger every single day because it's a major foreign loss is done, to that region and to that strip of land. I don't have that for you, and I'm not going to speculate. So, I'm talking about the people in the region, the people who live in the Gaza Strip. That's who we're talking about. The people who face a danger every single day because it's a major foreign loss is done, to that region and to that strip of land. I think that no matter who you are and how you identify, the fact is, is that no human being deserves to remain in that kind of an environment because Iran is funding death squads that take over the space and use you as a human this year. While it may why we may become inured to that kind of hell. And the people in it, generationally become, affected and also believe that this is just normal life, that is a crime in and of itself. And there is the human spirit is so strong that we do know, especially for those who survived October. So those who got out of the hostage framework, one woman who we honored here at the State Department, who was a survivor of that massacre, the strength in these individuals who move through this is astounding how they survived psychologically and physically. That is what unifies us, all of us in this room, all of us engaged in this kind of framework. It's that it's human beings, it's families, it's mothers and fathers. It's young people dancing at a music festival. It's people of faith. It's people of no faith. It's people who just simply are looking forward to that night, or to getting married, or having children, or thinking about college, or thinking about moving somewhere, or just living their life as their parents live their lives. That's (...) And that's what every peace effort that President Trump and Secretary Rubio work for every single day. If there is one thing our generations can look to, is the fact that we, at the very least serious, slow try. And so I refer to someone at whatever part of the world. And that's what I'm referring to. The Israelis, the Arabs, the Egyptians, the Palestinians, people of Gaza, the Jordanians. This is where we have to move past. It's the nature of what keeps us together. I'm sure. Yes, they do. And, but there was, of course, a ceasefire. Aid was flowing into the region. People were getting food and other aid that they needed, including medical aid, because of the ceasefire. That, allowed that to move forward. We forced, stand by our ally Israel. There, the ceasefire was, abandoned by Hamas. You know, my, it's not just a fear. It's a fact, isn't it? That there was a ceasefire and it was following Hamas, abandoned that ceasefire, decided that it was. I don't know what people decide, but, it's, the kind of thing that monsters do and continue to do. So obviously, the war does continue every single day in that region and other regions to stop the fighting, to make sure that civilians are protected, that the next day that they might still be alive. So because you might not see something in the news, and I know this is your business doesn't mean or we don't see announcements, doesn't mean that that work isn't continuing to regain that ceasefire so that aid can continue as we also stand by Israel. And that's the nature of what's happening for them. And as they still deal with, the fighting, this is not good for any anyone in that region. But yes, our work continues to get back to that ceasefire to make sure that people to live aid and to survive this, which is the sole focus of all of our efforts for that region.”WASHINGTON, DC, US - APRIL 10: US State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce commented on the war in Gaza at a press briefing in Washington DC and expressed support for Israel on Thursday, April 10. The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18 and has since killed more than 1,500 people, injured over 3,800 others, and shattered a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in the enclave that was signed in January. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed last week to escalate attacks on Gaza as efforts are underway to implement US President Donald Trump's plan to displace Palestinians from the enclave. More than 50,800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023, most of them women and children. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave. Writing by Aleyna Cil
