Kerry not planning to come here anytime soon
Despite some calls for US Secretary of State John Kerry to return to the region in order to help broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the Obama administration has no plans to send the diplomat, the Wall Street Journal reports.
“But with the crisis escalating just two months after formal US-led peace talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians collapsed, the White House isn’t preparing to dispatch Mr. Kerry to the region to broker a ceasefire,” WSJ writes.
