Ton Hamas News Today

A clear message. but obviously the de escalation will only happen if neither side take steps that lead to, uh continued violence. do you have hope that that will happen in the days to come? well that seems happy to be the attempt by the israeli leadership to try to deescalate this. they have trained their responses on hamas targets both in gaza and in lebanon. they have said that they do not believe hezbollah was involved in the rockets fired from lebanon and in fact there was a helpful statemen...

Benjamin netanyahu during the crisis. >> the united states fully supports israels right to defend itself against rocket atax on hamas. we remain committed to work on the united nations to ro provide rapid humanitarian assistance. we will do it with full partnership of the palestinian authority. i believe the palestinians and israelis deserve to live equally and securely. >> biden added he had also spoken to palestinian leaders and he thanked egypts president, the man donald trump once called his...

Of the and why they say they decided to act in this case. following that, hamas fired off some 200 rockets during the course of the day and now into the evening prompting an israeli response. interesting, israel has gone out of its way pointing its finger at islamic jihad, theyve fired the rockets and israel strikes in gaza seen throughout the day targeting specific islamic jihad positions. you pointed out according to the palestinian ministry of health, seven killed in gaza as well as injuries ...

Stephanie. >> the juxtaposition, the split screen, the images at the new embassy, compared to where you are now. 60 people already dead. ayman, stay safe. now, lets turn to the white house where nbcs geoff bennett is standing by. any additional response from the administration on the violence? thus far, theyre painting a different picture than what ayman just described. >> the answer is no, nothing beyond what the press secretary said yesterday, placing sole responsibility on hamas for the death...

Committed the most atrocious damage we can. the stability that were hoping to once again bring back to the middle east or relative stability, i guess has been pretty terrible. so theres a lot of reasons why i think we have to focus in on hamas right now, and get an understanding of the moral calculation at play. the israelis are trying to do the least damage they can to get this violence to stop. they just want this to end, but hamas in some sort of reverse incentive wants more casualties to occ...

Any let-up at all. >> there is a case being made that rocket attacks from gaza go up every time the israelis mount an offense on hamas. are they behind their government here and the prime minister benjamin netanyahu? >> well, israel has got a lot of different opinions and some say they dont think hes going far enough, including his own members of his cabinet. there was an emergency session this morning and the prime minister just fired his deputy minister for some things that hes said. hes total...

Forgive those comments. i just think its really interesting that, you know, groups like the human rights council and other gay advocacy groups, people like barney frank coming around to chuck hagel and finding themselves to be very sort of accepting of his apology and i dont think that would have been the case had he been the appointee of a republican president or in a republican administration. i think obama gives him a lot of cover on this issue. i think democrats would call him a pariah if it...
