White House officials call Israel/Hamas ceasefire “tenuous”
The president then told his team that if Morsi called back to talk, they should wake him up. Morsi did so, at 2:30 a.m. Cambodia time. The president and Morsi spoke again.
Another senior White House official declined to get into the substance of the calls, but said the president was reviewing ideas with Morsi and Netanyahu, so it would be natural for him to follow up with Morsi after speaking to Netanyahu. The president told Morsi he intended to send Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the region…
The president today phoned both Morsi and Netanyahu “to seal the deal,” the first senior White House official said.
The president, this official said, was struck by the fact that Morsi “was being pragmatic. He wanted to get to yes.”

“Get to yes”? Because Morsi wanted to keep the US billions flowing, and because Obama threatened to cut funding for more Iron Dome for Israel.
It’s the Chicago way. An offer they can’t refuse.

Tenuous? Is that the new term for “worthless”?

It will last until Hamas gets another shipment of rockets from Iran.
