Kerry says US ready to help with ceasefire
US Secretary of State John Kerry phones Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and tells him that the administration is ready to help broker a ceasefire in Gaza.
Kerry “highlighted the US concern about escalating tensions on the ground,” a senior State Department official said, according to AFP. The US’s chief diplomat is engaging with regional leaders “to help to stop the rocket fire so calm can be restored and civilian casualties prevented.”
The Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem declines to comment on the conversation.
