President Barack Obama said on Sunday it would be "preferable" to avoid an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza but put the onus on Egypt and Turkey to get Hamas to halt cross-border rocket fire, saying Israel had a right to defend itself from attack. He said he was fully supportive of Israel's right to defend itself and he said he had told President Mursi and Prime Minister Erdogan and those who support Gaza that any further escalation of the situation in Gaza including an Israeli ground invasion would push any kind of two state solution settlement "way off in the future."
