July 27, 2014 Barack Obama appears to have come down on the side of Hamas in the current conflict with Israel. The Times of Israel reported Saturday that Israeli officials were infuriated by the latest proposal by Secretary of State Kerry. They said they were “stunned” and “absolutely horrified” that there were no demands made of Gaza but Israel and Egypt were told to open their border crossings with Gaza and to also allow Hamas to build a seaport on the Mediterranean, which Israel and Egypt should help pay for. It also required “the creation of a post-conflict funding channel for Hamas from Qatar and other countries, according to the sources,” the Times of Israel says.
