Day 20 of war with Hamas

As we enter Day 20 of Israel’s war with Hamas, Secretary of State John Kerry is flying home to Washington, having failed to broker a ceasefire.

Israeli government sources are castigating him for his handling of the crisis, saying the offer that ministers unanimously rejected on Friday night was a “complete capitulation” to Hamas.

The IDF death toll has risen to 42.

And protests are erupting in various neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, with the security forces braced for West Bank demonstrations too.
