i was with them, with my wife on the phone during her attempt to cross the rafah crossing. she spent about seven hours waiting at the palestinian side in orderfor her to be at the palestinian side in order for her to be allowed at the palestinian side in orderfor her to be allowed in. but that wasn't the case. the reason for that being that her name was not on the list that was circulated and shared between the egyptian side and the palestinian side. so only my two kids, because they are citizens, were on the list, while she is a legal permanent resident, her name wasn't on the list. ., ., , ., the list. how have your wife and children _ the list. how have your wife and children been _ the list. how have your wife | and children been managing during this time?

basically, because when the whole issue started, i thought she would be able to exit the gaza strip on her own. in the first few day, i did not contact anyone. she went twice to the border. on the second day when she was at the border, actually, with her passport and the kids were stamped to exit, and she was waiting at the waiting area when the israelis bombed parts of the borders and they were closedment and she fled for her life, leaving her leggage and stroller and everything behind. and then i reached out to the american embassy where they instructed us to fill in the intake form for people who seek assistance. then we waited and waited. they sent us a few days later to the borders. again, she stayed for probably another seven or eight hours at that time. i think it was on the 14th of october. and she wasn't allowed in. she did the same thing a few days later and again... 50 the same thing a few days later and again- - -_ and again... so why are you holdin: and again... so why are you holding the _ and again... so why are you holding the secretary - and again... so why are you holding the secretary of - and again... so why are you l holding the secretary of state and the defence secretary responsible for this? figs and the defence secretary responsible for this? as i'm sa in: , responsible for this? as i'm saying, because _ responsible for this? as i'm saying, because so - responsible for this? as i'm saying, because so far, - responsible for this? as i'm saying, because so far, she j saying, because so far, she attempted to flee six times. because this is their responsibility. i mean, why should we go through this ordeal and you know, seeking going through all of this trouble while we have our government? i'm looking at the other side, you know, where the american citizens were easily allowed to evacuate in an organised manner, and in a quick, rapid matter. where for us, it is where we're kind of begging and we are pleaing for our government to evacuate our children and our wives. we shun be going through this. i mean, our government is responsible for us. this made me feel, honestly, angry. i didn't feel that there was an equal kind of treatment on both sides. and it made me think like — are we really like second class citizens here? and the problem with that, also, there were little information given to us for things to calm down. the communication with everybody was not clear. whenever my wife goes to the border, we struggle to get any advice or any information from anybody whether to stay or to leave, after waiting hours and hours. so who is responsible? so there's been very little information, you're saying. it's been hard to get the information that you need. just a last question to you — what would your message be to the secretary of state? you named him as a defendant to your lawsuit. he's headed to israel and the region. what is your message to him?
