I'm attaching an update from ynetnews reporting on President-Elect Obama's statement on the crisis in Gaza.  Obama expressed his concern about the situation and he also stated that he did not want to interfere with ongoing negotiations.  The full report from ynetnews follows:

"Obviously, international affairs are of deep concern. With the situation in Gaza, I've been getting briefed every day. I've had consistent conversations with members of the current administration about what's taking place. That will continue. I will continue to insist that when it comes to foreign affairs, it is particularly important to adhere to the principle of one president at a time, because there are delicate negotiations taking place right now and we can't have two voices coming out of the United States when you have so much at stake," he said" (Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington and AFP)
