given the situation we will face now. >> today the white house spokesperson was asked a number of times about responsibility for israel for the dozen of deaths on the border. and he answered each time pointing the finger at hamas. he said they're to blame. what do you make of that? >> you're dealing with a humanitarian situation in gaza, which has reached crisis proportions. absence of electricity, potable water. and originally, these demonstrations were grass roots from palestinian activists. seven fridays in a row and the fact that you have these things today on the 70th anniversary of the creation of the state of israel. and tomorrow violence could be worse and we are into ramadan. i think hamas realized that high-trajectory weapons and tunneling was not an effective way to put the palestinian issue front and center. they found one.
