@LuFins-Dad UNfortunately (at least from the transcript I read), neither was willing to answer with a yes or no.
Watch. The transcript never reveals everything about human interaction.

I wonder what the cost of manufacturing, marketing, and distributing those pagers and walkie-talkies were vs how much Israel was actually paid by Hamas…
