antony blinken said he still hoped a deal could be reached to pause the fighting and pledge the u.s. will work at that relentlessly until it gets there. i spoke with former secretary of state hillary clinton about the war in gaza and what happens next, and this is what she had to say. i got to ask because you said, you know, the people being killed over there is horrible. it's more than 27,000 gazans have been killed, and israel estimates that a fifth of the hostages have been killed. meantime, universities and schools have been destroyed. young gazans are ripe for radicalization. if your goal as the israeli government is to root out terrorism, root out hamas, how is any of this in the interest of the israeli government? >> you know, it's a war, alex, that israel didn't start. hamas started it, and israel has the right to defend itself, but it has to abide by the laws of war. look what russia has done to ukraine destroying hospitals, school, leveling whole cities, kidnapping children. it's horrible. it's horrible. when you're the aggressor as hamas was on october 7th or as russia was in february of 2022, what do you do with an aggressor? you have to stop them. and i think it's fair to say
