Senator Dick Durbin becomes the first senator to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war, stating that a ceasefire should be accompanied by the release of hostages and engagement between the Israelis and Palestinians. The Senate has confirmed Jack Lew as the new US Ambassador to Israel, despite opposition from some Republicans due to his involvement in the Iran nuclear deal and allegations of a lack of transparency about lifting sanctions on Iran during the Obama administration.
