UN Calls For Ceasefire, But Will Israel And Hamas Approve?

For the first time in more than eight months of war, the United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The security council says Israel has accepted the proposal, and US officials are now pressuring Hamas to do the same. But, there are few signs of concrete commitment to ending the war. Joining the show to discuss are Daniel Kurtzer, former US ambassador to Israel and Egypt, and Audrey Kurth Cronin, author of "How Terrorism Ends." 

Also on today's show: Harvard law professor Noah Feldman; New York Times reporter Sheera Frenkel
