Over 30 Palestinians were killed by Israeli air strikes Sunday, November 18, on the Gaza Strip. It was the bloodiest day so far, even as efforts to agree to a ceasefire intensified. Also on Sunday, about 125 rockets hit Israel, while scores more were intercepted in midflight by Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. Egypt has been trying to help negotiate a ceasefire, with senior Hamas officials saying in Cairo that the talks to put a stop to the bloodshed were “positive.” Hamas wants the US, Israel’s main supporter, to act as “guaranteeing party.” US President Barack Obama said Washington was “fully supportive of Israel’s right to defend itself.” Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi however said any Israeli ground invasion would have “serious repercussions.” The BBC quoted Mursi as saying Egypt would never accept it “and neither will the free world.”
