They were a bit slanted; Israel’s shooting at people digging a tunnel is mentioned as a break in the truce without noting any violations from the other side.

He does not mention all the negotiations that established procedures for those crossings or why they no longer are in effect.</p> Mr. Carter’s comments were not unreasonable.
