On Sunday's Up w/ Chris Hayes, we'll discuss the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, and ask what role the United States can and should play in bringing about a permanent resolution to the conflict. As part of that discussion, we'll also air an especially revealing clip we've unearthed of Barack Obama in 2004, at the time a newly elected senator from Illinois, talking about the causes of terrorism.
We'll also examine Egypt's president, Mohamed Morsi, who helped broker the ceasefire and has proved considerably more savvy than his critics and supporters expected. A day after cementing the ceasefire, Morsi claimed for himself vast powers in Egypt's government. Plus: We'll look at the brewing battle over Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who's on President Obama's short-list for Secretary of State in a second term.
