The good news for Israel is that the FAA and their European counterparts lifted the ban on air travel to Tel Aviv. The bad news is that there has been no cessation of rocket fire.
Brazil and Ecuador have recalled their ambassadors from Israel, condemning disproportionate violence in the Gaza Strip. The Foreign Press Association has lodged a complaint against Israeli intimidation of reporters. I guess the BBC doesn’t like it’s correspondents to be attacked and called “son of a whore.”
Meanwhile, according to Palestinian sources, Israel managed to blow up a school, killing 15 and wounding another hundred people. No doubt, they will justify this by saying that U.N.-run schools are really just arms depots.
Of course, things could be worse. Israel could actually listen to people like Middle East scholar Dr. Mordechai Kedar of Bar-Ilan University.
