for more on that rami kouri joins us from beirut.institute for public policy at the american university. mr. kouri, thank you for being with us. there has been so little condemnation of israel during this military operation. i guess one of the reasons is because hamas rejected that egyptian-backed cease-fire. so is israel right now when it says it does have international backing to continue with this assault on gaza? >> that's very debatable. i think there's been huge outcries of anti-israeli, criticism, demonstrations, if you look in europe and other places there's been tens of thousands of people demonstrating. the governments basically have been saying that any israeli response should be proportional and should respect the rules of international humanitarian law. but israel has strong backing in the united states, which can block security council resolutions, at least in the u.s. government, and that seems to set the tone for the israelis, who believe they can do anything they want. but the criticisms against israel's overreaction

six palestinians were killed as 10,000 protesters marched from adil rami to jerusalem. it was the largest demonstration in the west bank in a decade. >> let's go to gaza and al jazeera correspondent. secretary of state john kerry has been in the region pushing hard for a 7-day ceasefire. now there'll be talks in paris involving britain, germany, e.u., turkey and qatar. despite the diplomacy, all we have is israel and hamas agreeing to pause for 12 hours. both demanding things the other side will not accept, to have a longer truce allowing for serious negotiations. did any of this have an effect on the fighting friday? >> no, absolutely not. it has an effect in the fact that people know about the news. they hear that the u.n. is pushing for a ceasefire and are that much more disappointed at the end of the day when there's no ceasefire. it's a disappointment for u.s. orinitials. they thought it was possible to get to a ceasefire. it was torpedoed tonight, by the israeli cabinet rejecting a plan that hadn't been made public or been offered formally. the israelis came out p
