Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. is trying to stem the surging violence in Israel and Gaza in a way that allows the Jewish state to continue defending itself from Hamas rocket fire.
Kerry, in Beijing for a summit with Chinese leaders, says it’s a “dangerous moment” for the Mideast.
Hundreds of rockets have been fired from Gaza since the killings of three Israeli and one Palestinian teenagers sparked tensions. Dozens of Palestinians have died in Israeli attacks.
Kerry says no country can accept such rocket attacks.
But he says de-escalating the crisis is ultimately in everyone’s interests.
Kerry says he spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The goal, he says, is to see if there is some way to restore peace.

Let’s see America get hot with so many missiles. You will stop and de escalate?? no way! LET ISRAEL DO WHAT YOU WOULD DO!!
Did Kerry really say “the U.S. is trying to stem the surging violence in Israel and Gaza in a way that allows the Jewish state to continue defending itself from Hamas rocket fire”?
What an idiot! He should better focus on stopping the rocket fire altogether. Then again, what should we expect from this idiot and his idiot boss in the white house.
Quote: “Kerry says he spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The goal, he says, is to see if there is some way to restore peace”.
How about talking to the animals who cause the mess-Hamas? I do like his “goal” though. He follows in the ways of his predecessors of the past several decades, only Mr. Kerry and Obama-now they will create a true lasting peace!
Carrie is correct we need to de escalate and the way to do that is to bomb hamas and their friends out of existence
Why aren’t we just putting them to sleep – indeed a peaceful sleep! THAT, I submit, will bring an everlasting peace! Show them IN THEIR LANGUAGE, what naughty behavior begets!
Bomb em out of business!
BTW, is “Pooti-Poot” worried that Hamas will no longer be customers of their missiles?
If Hillary is the smartest woman in the world, then clearly, the lurch has got to be the smartest man! Its takeh amazing what he says. He definitely needs to get that coveted Nobel “Peace” prize! He’s got my vote.
John means bathroom – that’s where he’s talking from. Kerry in Hebrew is what he’s talking like
