US ambassador: only end to Gaza crisis is for Hamas to end rocket attacks

The US ambassador to the UN, Samatha Power, spoke at the emergency Security Council meeting and strongly criticised the role played by Hamas in the current Gaza crisis:

“The US are deeply concerned by Hamas attacks. The UN in Gaza found 20 Hamas rockets in one school…such tactics are indefensible. The only way to end this is an immediate cessation of rocket attacks from Hamas and a de-escalation in hostilities.”
