International calls for a ceasefire have come due to a long-standing tension between Israel and Palestine culminating.
Attacks began after the two nations clashed at a holy site for Muslims and Jews.
After warning Israel to withdraw from the site, Hamas, the nationalist organization that controls Gaza, began firing rockets, causing Israel to retaliate.
More than 50 warplanes attacked the Gaza Strip for 20 minutes, destroying more than 9 miles of an underground tunnel network.
Palestinian militants also hit the homes of nine high-ranking commanders.
More than 3,000 rockets have been fired into Israel in the past week, causing widespread power cuts and damage to homes and other buildings.
Dr. Marc Lamont Hill and Mitchell Plitnick, Co-authors of “Except For Palestine” spoke with Roland Martin about the inflamed tensions and America’s position as well as stance on he conflict between Israel and Palestine.
