Egypt Calls for Israel, Hamas to Exercise Restraint

Egyptian officials are calling for calm as the conflict between Israel and Hamas rages in the third day of hostilities. The calls come as Israel intensifies its attack on Gaza a day following its official declaration of war on Hamas. Mohamed Wadie is an Egyptian and Middle East analyst and editor-in-chief of the Sada El-Balad news website and satellite television channel. He tells VOA’s Peter Clottey that Egypt is advising Israel on ways to end the fighting.
