gaza is simply not working. and i think the underlying mistake is to try and somehow teal with gaza as though it were separate from the rest of the palestinian/israeli equation. part of the problem is there hasn t been a unified palestinian leadership and we ought to be supporting that. thank you very much for joining us. good, important insight from you. we ll certainly have you back. appreciate it very much. thank you. coming up, we re live here in jerusalem. improved missiles, rocketing deeper into israel. a closer look at the size and strength of the hamas arsenal. that s coming up. is a ground invasion by the israeli military imminent? i ll ask the u.s. ambassador to israel. my interview with him is coming up live as we continue to follow the breaking news.
