Hillary Clinton receiving undue credit for Gaza ceasefire agreement?

17. Look at HRC's own announcement - it is clear the US supported Mousi's draft proposal

It is true that Moursi led on the draft, but it was NOT in effect. The US, both Obama and Clinton, put pressure on Israel to accept the draft and gave Israel additional support on the "iron dome".

To be clearer, HRC and PO used the US's leverage to get Israel to accept the cease fire. HRC lent the US's weight to the agreement by appearing with both Moursi and Netanyahu. (Obviously to US viewers, she dominates in the coverage.) The MOST interesting thing here is that there was no Republican outcry here - as there would have been pre election - a sign that for a minute they are not playing politics with this.

You may then ask if the US was important. That is a harder question because it would include eliminating all the behind the scenes calls to Israel. The point is that the US did weigh in on this and acted to support the end of the hostilities. This does not fix the problem, but it is a good step.

I think if there is anyone who comes away from this with any enhanced credibility, it is Moursi. As to Hillary, she was doing her job - as was Obama. Note that no one (to my knowledge) is crediting Netanyahu for anything on this.
