Can DC Diffuse Tensions Between Israel and Hamas?
In the past, Egypt has played the leading role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and the United States played more of a supportive role.

In the past, Egypt has played the leading role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and the United States played more of a supportive role, said Carnegie’s Michele Dunne on Bloomberg TV. U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have said that while they’re ready to be helpful if asked, they feel that they’ve put forward a robust effort over the last year to broker a broader Palestinian–Israeli peace, Dunne explained, and they didn’t get a great deal of cooperation from either side. If Israel decides to go in on the ground, causalities will go up very steeply and international censure of Israel might rise quite a bit because many Palestinian civilians will become victims, she added.
