Once again Israel has agreed to a seventy two hour ceasefire. This one is to start at midnight tonight. The goal, according to Egypt’s foreign ministry, is for “both sides to exploit this truce to resume indirect negotiations immediately and work towards a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire agreement.”

In an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton defended Israel’s self-defense and charged that much of the criticism of Israel was motivated by anti-Semitism. Clinton told Goldberg, “You can’t ever discount anti-Semitism, especially with what’s going on in Europe today. There are more demonstrations against Israel by an exponential amount than there are against Russia seizing part of Ukraine and shooting down a civilian airliner. So there’s something else at work here than what you see on TV.”

Claudia Rosett, a reporter with expertise in the United Nations wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal Friday, charging that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is an accomplice to Hamas, “With the agency handling household chores, Hamas—especially since its bloody takeover of Gaza in 2007, ousting the Palestinian Authority’s Fatah—has found the time and resources to amass rocket arsenals (UNRWA last month reported finding rockets stashed in three of its vacant schools), to bombard Israel (sometimes in close proximity to UNRWA premises), and to build miles of concrete-reinforced tunnels extending into Israel for terrorist attacks.”
