The conversation between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama was tense and tough, according to a report on Channel 1 Tuesday evening.
Based on a transcript of the conversation, obtained by Israel’s channel 1, Obama “behaved in a rude, condescending and hostile manner,” the network’s foreign correspondent concluded.
During the 35-minute conversation on Sunday, the president reportedly demanded that Israel should immediately and unconditionally end the operation.
When Netanyahu asked what Israel would get in return for unilaterally ending the strikes, Obama replied: “I believe Hamas will stop firing rockets – quiet in return for quiet.” To which Netanyahu responded that Hamas has already violated 5 cease-fires and is committed to the destruction of Israel.
“I repeat and expect Israel to stop all of its actions against Hamas in Gaza,” Obama said. He added that despite Netanyahu’s objections the United States trusts Qatar and Turkey’s mediation. “Israel is not in a situation that it can choose its mediators,” the president told his Israeli counterpart.
Netanyahu in response: “Hamas will continue firing rockets on Israel and use their tunnels to attack our people.”
At this point, Obama interrupted the Israeli leader, stating, “the ball is in Israel’s court, and it must end all military activities.”
He has got to be uptight going against Netanyahu. He is probably overcompensating for his fear.
UPDATE 15:00: The State Department spokesperson told BBC reporter Paul Danahar that if President Obama’s conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu was indeed leaked to Israel’s Channel 1, it would be a “severe violation of a private discussion.”
Who does he think he’s talking to, Michelle?
Israel has every right to hunt down these missiles and destroy them, tunnels as well
Yes it is, but with this guy, I’d believe it. He and Carter had/have no grasp of international diplomacy.
I keep saying it, but it’s true. He had a nine year old’s view of what he could do as president. He thought this made him world ruler. Over and over again, we see proof of it.
Here he’s mad that a nation’s leader doesn’t simply give in to his will. He’s a child. He’s an Islamic child...
no wonder obambi is trying to wag the dog with ukraine today....hoping the usa media won’t cover this story.
You must be joking. He wouldn't dare talk to either Michelle or Valerie that way!
This may be a complete fabrication. I have no more reason to trust Big Media in Israel than I have to trust Big Media in America.
However ...
The story is PLAUSIBLE. It's consistent with 0bama's known behavior in public. And that's a real damning indictment of 0bama.
Right there with ya’!!!!
We know he's not a Muslim because:
1) He smokes
2) He eats pork
3) He's so narcissistic that he doesn't recognize any being greater than himself.
And probably 4) he's on the down-low so he'd have to stone himself, and I don't mean with drugs, which BTW we know that he indulges in, which would be reason #5.
That said, he clearly is a Jew-hating Muslim sympathizer, who does support the destruction of Israel and the imposition of a Caliphate.
And of course, he is an American-hating totalitarian leftist that would love to see the U.S. become a 3rd world nation with no national sovereignty beyond that granted to it by an international government.
netyanyahu should just tell everyone obama and kerry are incompetent idiots and he’s done talking to them. He’ll deal with the next administration.
“I tell you what, boy - we’ll do as you say and stop all military action, and announce it in advance with the following condition - within 30 seconds after Hamas sends ONE ROCKET during that time, we launch a tactical neutron weapon over Gaza and end it all for good, got that, schmuckie?”
Took the words right out of my mouth.
I suspect Bibi had his press transcribing while the call was going. What better way to show the world that odinga is simply pro-muslim/anti-Israel, and Israel must defend itself as best it can.
He’s not a Muzzie, he just likes Muzzies because they hate Jews and Christians as much as he does.
I think Israel is truly fed up with both Hamas and the American Administration. So I can believe they leaked it. Have to wait and see, though.
I wouldn’t necessarily draw the same conclusions as you have from his inconsistencies. He’s obviously got a very grandiose, narcissistic view of himself. Maybe a bit of vice in both drugs and sex is OK for the man at the top. Hell, Mad Mo himself blazed new pathways of misbehavior.
But, we’re basically on the same page.
