The United States strongly supports the humanitarian ceasefire announced in Gaza this evening. We urge all parties to act with restraint until this humanitarian ceasefire begins at 8:00 a.m. local time on Friday, August 1, 2014, and to fully abide by their commitments.
We believe the only sustainable way to address Israel’s security concerns and enable Palestinians in Gaza to lead normal lives is through a permanent cease-fire agreement. We urge the Israeli and Palestinian delegations to begin negotiations immediately in Cairo, at the invitation of Egypt, aimed at achieving a durable ceasefire. The United States stands ready to support the successful conclusion of these negotiations, working with Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, the United Nations, and other partners in the region.

What a STUPID STATEMENT WHAT PLO..
ABBAS MADE A TREATY WITH HAMAS, ABBAS IS HAMAS….
WHAT KIND OF A CRAZY WORLD WE LIVE IN…I AM SO MAD….
Foolish jew, G-d is control of world events not you.
Stupid statement by stupid people. Nothing this administration does ever makes any sense. The reason gaza residents don’t live normal lives has nothing to do with Israel. Its because the hamas leaders steal all the foreign aid money & use it to build tunnels & buy weapons. They don’t spend a nickel on badly needed infrastructure. Also they use the peoples poverty & dire situation to their advantage in their propaganda campaign to blame Israel for all their problems. This is what causes the resentment in the territories. The fact that I know this so clearly & this whitehouse either doesn’t know it or chooses to ignore it is embarrassing to be part of this stupid country.
it should be abundantly clear to the world that hamas does not play by the rules of the human race and a humanitarian ceasefire means nothing to them. In fact it is an oxymoron in their culture.
