On Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's "The Lead," Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said that the U.S. needs to push for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas despite both sides having a political incentive to avoid negotiations with the understanding that "Hamas is going to continue to send rockets into Israel so long as Israel is knocking down buildings inside Gaza." Murphy also argued that military offensives by Israel may bring peace in the short run, but in the long run, they just feed "a grievance culture inside the Palestinian communities that guarantees long-term unrest."
