From the “Jerusalem Post”: While Obama suggested neither the US, nor the Israelis, are sure of exactly who perpetrated the attack– Hamas, so far, has denied holding an Israeli soldier in its custody – he said that Hamas’ ability to enforce a cease-fire relies on its ability to monitor the tunnels it has built to conduct such abductions. “I think it’s going to be very hard to put a cease-fire back together again if Israelis, and the international community, can’t feel confident that Hamas can follow through on a cease-fire agreement,” Obama told reporters. “They’re claiming to speak for all the Palestinian factions.” “No country can or would tolerate tunnels being dug under their land to conduct terror attacks,” he added. The citizens of Gaza are “stuck in the crossfire,” the president noted, explaining his administration’s insistence on a ceasefire, despite Israel’s “legitimate security needs.” Gazan civilians “have to weigh on our conscience,” he said. “And we have to do more to protect them.”
