Leaked Cables Show White House Opposes Palestinian Statehood
NPR - Israel is now engaged in conflicts on three separate fronts: They're waging war against Hamas in Gaza, trading rocket fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and they were recently attacked directly by Iran in retaliation for an Israeli strike on an Iranian diplomatic compound this month in Syria. Yet, the U.S. and other countries are urging Israel to avoid escalating these conflicts. All three conflicts are linked and date back decades, NPR's Greg Myre says. "It's really taken us into uncharted territory." Israel's war cabinet has been debating a response to Iran. The U.S. and European countries say the successful defense against Iran's air strike was a win, and Israel should take it and de-escalate. Neither Hezbollah nor Israel appears interested in a full-scale battle on the northern border. In Gaza, the war is evolving. Most ground combat has stopped, and Israel is mostly using air strikes.
NBC - Qatar is re-evaluating its role as mediator in cease-fire talks between Israel and Hamas, citing concerns that its efforts are being undermined by politicians seeking to score points, its prime minister said.
