John Kerry Offers to Broker Truce

American Foreign minister John Kerry has offered to broker a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian Unity Government, Israel Radio reported Thursday.

Kerry, undeterred by nine months of failed attempts to re-ignite the failed Oslo process, said the United States - and particularly John Kerrry - could play a major role in stopping the rocket fire at Israel.

In addition, White House Spokeswoman Jen Psaki noted that Kerry stressed the Obama administration’s concern about the excavation, but also stressed that Hamas is responsible for the current situation and noted that Israel has acted in order to limit harm to innocent civilians, whereas Hamas has tried specifically to harm civilians in Israel.
