NBC’s Kate Snow discusses the latest in Gaza and Secretary of State John Kerry’s call for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Al Hunt talks about the criticism against Kerry and says that to say John Kerry isn’t a friend of Israel is “nonsense.” Steve Schmidt says the reason for the fighting is because of the Hamas and the goal of the Israeli army is to demilitarize them. He also says the U.S. should make it clear that they stand side-by-side with Israel. The panel then talks about the Georgia Senate race and the Andrew Cuomo ethics allegations.July 29, 2014
