US hopes for new Gaza truce in ‘coming hours’
The United States voiced hope late Friday that Israel and Hamas will reach a new truce, shortly after Palestinian terrorists end a 72-hour ceasefire by shooting rockets into Israel.
“Our hope is that the parties will agree to an extension of the ceasefire in the coming hours,” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters.
