united states, if the u.s. federal government were to give money to a state, let's say the state of texas or alabama, it would mosttainly be restricted and have a number of demands in association with receiving that aid. it is very interesting that we have had this policy for soong where we are giving money to a foreign country without demanding anything in return. as we hear time and time again from this administration, they keep saying that they are asking the tough questions behind the scenes. but i have yet to hear why they think that is sufficient in garnering results. christian: thank you very much. i'm sorry, we are squeezed for time. i hope you will come back and talk to us some more. thank you. plenty of time on this program we have focused on the scale of the destruction. but it is not until it is plotted on the maps that you see it for what it is. this is the north of gaza, the red marks indicate the damage, until th22nd of november, the day before the cease-fire was agreed. more than a million people lived here on october 7. many of them fled to the south. where there is less damage, still considerable
