While we are all overwelmed with news on insurance...the world continues...
Iran has been aiding Hamas in getting rockets sufficient to attack Israel...
"The Islamic Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip can now launch rockets capable of reaching the Israeli metropolitan area of Tel Aviv, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said at a Jerusalem briefing.
“We know they have tried to, and have obtained missiles that reach 60 kilometers (37 miles),” Ayalon said today. “Tel Aviv and its vicinity are now under the range of Hamas.”
During Israel’s military operation against Hamas in Gaza, which ended in January, the farthest rocket strike was some 40 kilometers into Israel, endangering southern cities such as Ashdod and Beersheba.
Since the three-week operation, Hamas has been able to replenish its stock of military equipment and explosives as well as upgrade its rocket capability, Ayalon said. Hamas is receiving support from Iran, which is using the Islamic movement to increase its influence in the region, he said."

Meanwhile last I heard our President will do what Iran has wanted for years...sit down and TALK one on one. Why are they not being told to stop helping with the arms buildup in the mideast ? Did I miss that or has someone already warned them.
The clock is ticking !
