Kerry: 'No promise' of cease-fire
None
Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday there is "no promise" of a negotiated cease-fire between Israel and militants in the Gaza Strip, but he said the US remains hopeful.
Kerry told reporters in the India capital Thursday that the sooner a cease-fire happens, the better.
"We've never stopped working toward the notion that a cease-fire at some point is essential," Kerry said. "Yes, the United States remains hopeful that it is achievable. And sooner is better, because of the needs to get to the table and begin negotiations that could ultimately, hopefully resolve issues.
