[VIDEO] Ceasefire Ends in 90 minutes as Israeli Soldier Captured by Hamas
Secretary Kerry released an official statement condemning today’s “outrageous violation of the ceasefire negotiated over the past several days, and of the assurances given to the United States and the United Nations.”
The statement called on Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, “to immediately and unconditionally release the missing Israeli soldier,” and on those with influence over Hamas to “reinforce this message.”
Kerry said the international community had to “redouble efforts” to end the attacks by Hamas on Israel and the suffering and loss of civilian life on both sides of the conflict.
