Incredible. Obama and Kerry push Bibi hard for a 72 hour cease fire and 90 minutes into it Hamas let loose a planned suicide bomb attack to kidnap an Israeli soldier. Just utter failure in Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Ukraine, US southern border, etc and Obama has a nationally televised newscast were he basically says "So sue me."
Obama has no street cred either nationally or internationally. Hamas played him for the amateur community organizer he is. The country is a laughing stock.

The latest attempt at a cease-fire in Gaza disintegrated Friday before it ever really took hold amid accusations that Palestinian militants killed two Israeli soldiers and captured one.
Blaming Hamas and its militant allies for the attack on the soldiers, Israel resumed shelling of what have been described as militant strongholds in Gaza.
The announced 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire between Israel and Hamas didn't even last two hours, by some accounts.
The pause appears to have eroded after about 90 minutes in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza, with the attack on Israeli soldiers. The soldiers were working to destroy a tunnel built by militants to breach Israel's border when a militant emerged from it and detonated a suicide bomb, Israeli military Lt. Col. Peter Lerner told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
