Clinton wasn't the only diplomat in the Middle East today.

The UN Secretary General was there too and ahead of today's cease fire Ban Ki Moon was telling Israel to use quote maximum restraint in dealing with Hamas.

But why did -- tell the terrorists to do the same.

Later a set.

What she's calling BUN's -- To terrorists Claudia -- that -- it it wasn't only the CD UN Secretary General it it was also the Turkish Prime Minister who also said.

Think Israel calm down what what's going on the Middle East.

Well part of the battleground here is diplomatic and to one of the presumably one of the goals of the Hamas terrorist leadership in Gaza and its fellow brother -- terrorists there.

Is it to delegitimize.

Israel this is -- a constant pushing campaign and unfortunately that UN lends itself.

As a vehicle for exactly that for translating.

Terrorist attacks.

Which.

Absolutely shouldn't be calling on into.

Diplomatic gains in the sense of looking for ways to damage Israel and this instruction for maximum restraint.

Is just an excellent case -- -- Claudia it though many have said Egypt is that is the key to peace in the Middle East at least that part that region of the Middle East has Egypt redemptive.

Her self given what we what we know now I mean there -- a point where my hot and Mohamed -- -- a Muslim Brotherhood.

On the EGF.

Gaza border but that's the question I would have to assume -- -- against an assumption that Israel wouldn't agree to a cease fire.
