Hamas claims united states backs israel and isn t a real mutual ash tart arbitrator. now israel has not got its job done yet. israel came into this, setting a number of limited goals. those were to shut down the rocket launchers and shut down the tunnels. as days go on, israeli military is taking more hits, more taush casualties, and they can t get their job done shutting down the tunnels and hamas rocket fire. hamas is in emboldened in guerrilla war far, and reports not verified that they may be holding a prisoner. there may be no need for them to call a cease-fire just yet. thank you very much. it is morning time. it s five minutes past 10 cloek.
I d like to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. you re watching cnn newsroom. i m john vause. and i m natalie allen. the headlines this hour, there was celebration in gaza sunday as the military wing of hamas announced the capture of an israeli soldier. israel s ambassador to the u.n. has denied that claim. but the military said a short time ago it can neither confirm nor deny that report. and the hamas claim came on the deadliest day yet in this round of violence. palestinians report 87 people killed on sunday at least. 501 are dead over the past two weeks. israel reports 13 soldiers killed sunday, 18 in total, plus two civilians who were killed by hamas rocket fire on israel. the ukrainian cabinet says
It s almost sunset. ambassador, i want to start with this. the rhetoric that is coming out of jerusalem from the netanyahu government and also the amount of force being used on the ground seems a few orders of magnitude greater than what we have seen in the past. do you get the feeling there that there is a resolve to end this and end the hamas rocket fire, not just put a pause to it? i believe the prime minister netanyahu has shown great restraint ten days before going into gaza. the u.s. wouldn t wait ten seconds if one rocket was fired from across the border. israel waited not ten seconds or ten hours, but ten days. now that we re in there, we have to finish the job and make sure that we dismantle hamas. you know, you ve been covering extensively the horrific airline with ukraine. just imagine if hamas had ground-to-air missiles and we want to avoid that and we want
