Gaza Update (5 a.m. Israel; 10 p.m. Eastern US): This is "All-Out War"
Tuesday, December 30, 2008 at 2:50
Latest Updates: Gaza: This is an (Israeli) War of Choice
and Gaza: The Futility of the Israeli War
Israel's bombardment of Gaza has entered a fourth day, with ministerial offices targets and the Islamic University hit again. At least 350 Palestinians have been killed, and hospitals are overwhelmed with casualties. Four Israelis have been killed by rocket fire.
The UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, has now called for a cease-fire. Perhaps most significantly, at least for US-European relations, the British Government is distancing itself from Washington and calling for a cessation of hostilities.
