HILLARY CLINTON ARRIVES IN TEL AVIV TO MEDIATE PEACE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND GAZA
"Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was on her way to the Middle East on Tuesday as the U.S. urgently tries to contain the blood conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Clinton hastily left Cambodia, where she had joined President Obama for summit meetings with Asian leaders. She will make three stops, meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Palestinian officials in Ramallah, West Bank, and Egyptian leaders in Cairo, according to State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
Nuland said Obama had spoken to Netanyahu and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Clinton, she said, will build on those talks to encourage "de-escalation of violence and a durable outcome that ends the rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns and restores a broader calm."*
Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola (Host, TYT Univeristy) discuss Hilary Clinton's efforts to negotiate a truce, as well as the wording of the announcement. Aren't both sides attacking and being attacked? Is the media too nervous to hold Israel culpable for violent actions?
