U.S. Holds Hamas War Talks with Israel
(AP) Zeke Miller - Top American and Israeli officials held a 2 1/2-hour meeting by secure video conference on Monday to discuss Israel's planned ground assault against Hamas in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. The meeting was described by both sides as constructive and productive. In a joint statement released by the White House, the U.S. and Israeli teams said, "They agreed that they share the objective to see Hamas defeated in Rafah." The Israeli side agreed to take U.S. concerns into account and to have follow up discussions in person next week.
