Katty Kay: America Looks Weak to the World, It Keeps Giving to Israel and Getting Nothing Back in Return

EXCERPT:

KAY: "I think the question will be whether the Israelis do enough. I mean, the White House’s argument speaking to them yesterday is that we didn’t put condition on aid because we wanted to have leverage at the table. We wanted to be in the discussions as they were happening around Gaza, so to try and make things, if possible, better. But even the White House recognizes that they haven’t got very much to show for that leverage, and American diplomats in the region have been telling the BBC that America, frankly, looks weak at the moment, it looks like it keeps giving to Israel and getting nothing back in return. That's not a position that the White House wants to be in."
