that's why they are doing this. from hamas inside gaza to get them to stop with the rockets what are they demanding? is there a diplomatic solution? >> theoretically there is. it doesn't look promising. even though kerry is over there, white house officials are acknowledging it will be tough. they are not saying we are on the verge of a breakthrough. hamas wants concessions that it seems unlike tli israelis will offer including opening crossings out of gaza, lifting a lot of economic restrictions on economic activities on gaza and releasing hamas prisoners who were released as part of the deal in 2011. one problem for hamas is although this presents netanyahu with many political problems both at home as casualties mount and on the international stage at home as idf casualties mount.
