Michael Oren: “Ceasefire means Hamas wins.”

I would like to see more aid personally, and I'm sure that this -- what has occurred, this tragedy will probably strengthen the president's hand and trying to persuade Israeli leaders to go against public opinion.

High casualty levels, again, is not good for Israel in moral terms. It's also not good in Israel tactical terms or diplomatic terms.

And if we restore Hamas rule in Gaza, the whole process is just going to start again.

You can shoot 350 projectiles at us. And if one of them had gotten through, it could have killed thousands of people.
