WASHINGTON (JTA) — President Obama told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he wants an “immediate, unconditional humanitarian” cease-fire in the war with Gaza, based on a process Israel has made clear it opposes.
The statement Sunday afternoon from the White House describing a phone call between the two leaders referred to cease-fire talks led in recent days by Secretary of State John Kerry which culminated in a proposal rejected unanimously on Friday by Israel’s security Cabinet.
“Building on Secretary Kerry’s efforts, the president made clear the strategic imperative of instituting an immediate, unconditional humanitarian cease-fire that ends hostilities now and leads to a permanent cessation of hostilities based on the November 2012 ceasefire agreement,” the statement said.
Israeli leaders rejected Kerry’s proposal in part because it envisions talks with Hamas toward ends that Israel believes would reward a group it rejects as illegitimate, including opening borders.
Additionally, Israel wants any cease-fire to allow Israeli troops to continue tracking and destroying tunnels from the Gaza Strip into Israel, which Israel says were in place to facilitate a massive terrorist attack on Israeli communities.
Obama in his statement addressed some of the Israeli concerns, which were not made explicit in drafts of Kerry’s proposal leaked to media over the weekend.
“The president underscored the United States’ strong condemnation of Hamas’ rocket and tunnel attacks against Israel and reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself,” the statement said. “The president also reiterated the United States’ serious and growing concern about the rising number of Palestinian civilian deaths and the loss of Israeli lives, as well as the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza.”
The statement from Obama also nodded to another Israeli demand, that Gaza be demilitarized, although it suggested this was a long-term goal.
“The President stressed the U.S. view that, ultimately, any lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must ensure the disarmament of terrorist groups and the demilitarization of Gaza,” it said.
So far the conflict launched July 8 has killed more than 1,020 Palestinians, most of them civilians, and 43 Israeli soldiers and three civilians in Israel.
Good point. I don't know who this man in the White House is but he is NOT an American.
Hey, mr community organizer...bus in some of your rent-a-mob protesters and start shouting “racists”...that oughta work. You go with. Them and lead the pack.
Well, if the Current Occupant wants a cease-fire, he should lay down his weapons, and Netanyahu will agree to a bilateral cease-fire with the Current Occupant.
Can’t say it would be a wise idea for Netanyahu to agree to a cease-fire with Hamas, just yet. Make them fire off the last of their rockets, first, and interdict the resupply routes, so they cannot reload, and when Hamas runs out of ammunition, THEN talk about cease-fire.
Just walk away, Isreal.
He means that Israel should stop shooting at his true bosom buddies.
He doesn’t care that his true love is shooting at Jews.
F*** Y** Obama. Your compadres with ISIS are practicing ethnic cleansing against Christians, and you play golf and hob-nob with Hollywood reprobates to shake them down for money. You are utterly reprehensible.
Humanitarian a new word Obama just learned ,he thinks it will work for Illegals and he will try it on Israel now
FUBO.
That would be...perfect!

Amin Al Husseini seen inspecting his Hanzar Division made up exclusively of Muslims, mostly from the Crotia/Bosnia/Serbia region. They actively lead the genocide against Serbs, Serbian Jews and Gypsies.
Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe's Jews to the gas chamber. The Third Reich provided Amin Al Husseini with a salary and appointed him Head of the Hanzar SS Division. The Hanzar Division was made of Nazi Muslims and implemented the genocide of 250,000 Serbs, Gypsies and Jews during WWII.
Amin Al Husseini shown here on a Nazi poster recruiting fellow Muslims to join Hitler in the fight against the West and the Jews. His disciples today include Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein and the leaders of Hamas, Al Qeida and Islamic Jihad.

Crypto-Islam is the secret adherence to Islam while publicly professing to be of another faith; people who practice crypto-Islam are referred to as "crypto-Muslims".
The word has mainly been used in reference to Spanish Muslims during the Inquisition (i.e., the Moriscos and their usage of Aljamiado). Related to this term are the concepts of crypto-Muslim subgroups, such as crypto-Sunni Muslims and crypto-Shia Muslims. Each of these Muslim subgroups has suffered persecution at various times under various leaders where it was advantageous to appear as part of the dominant (sometimes also Muslim) group.
Some mention was made of the concept during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign in accusations directed towards President Barack Obama. From 1969 to 1971, Obama attended a secular Indonesian state primary school.[1] Although Obama has family and ancestors with divergent religious views, he has repeatedly stated he is a Christian and has never been a Muslim.[2]
Syed Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib (Arabic: ?????? ?? ??? ??????) (c. 566 – c. 653 AD), a wealthy merchant, was a paternal uncle and companion of Muhammad, only a few years his senior. During the early years of Islam he protected Muhammad while he was in Mecca, but only officially adopted the religion after the Battle of Badr in 624 AD. He concealed his faith, from the Quraishites and was the principal advocate for the Aqaba Pledge. His descendants founded the Abbassid caliphate in 750 AD.

Raila Odinga is married to Ida Odinga (born Ida Anyango Oyoo). They have four children - two sons and two daughters. His oldest son, Fidel, is named after Fidel Castro.[23] Their youngest child, Winnie, is named after Winnie Mandela.[23] Raila lives in Nairobi but has a second home in Bondo District. Raila Odinga is an Anglican.[24]
Odinga claims to be a cousin of American Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama through the latter’s father, Barack Obama Sr., who Odinga claims was his maternal uncle.[25] This claim has not been corroborated, but Obama Sr. did come from the same Luo tribe as Odinga.[25]
No doubt. Obama: “Whew glad that’s over. Reggie grab the clubs. Nice afternoon . Can still get in 18 holes and have a good day.”
What is the main leverage that Obama has, do we still give billions to Israel every year? If so, does Obama have any authority to cut off the aid? (I doubt it.) Unless there is something that Obama can do to punish Israel, Bibi should ignore him as the irrelevant Muzzie lover that he is.
Bibi to Barry. Call off your Ham ass chimps and tell them to stop murdering Israelis.
I second that emotion!
We are so screwed if we can’t take the house a senate.
Terrorist sympathizer in white house bump.
Anyone who was unsure whether Israel should accept a cease fire now knows the answer. If Obama supports it, then it’s bad for the Jews. Israel needs to continue until they have found and destroyed all the tunnels. Let the terrorists spend the next five years rebuilding their tunnels, no doubt funded by Obama, instead of using the tunnels to commit murder.
It would be priceless to hear a recording of that conversation and then the comments of Obama and Netanyahu after they hung up.
Play it live, charge $100 per device and solve world poverty.
Go pound sand, Obama.
It should immediately be proposed to the UN that the use of civilian ‘human shields’ in any context is a war crime, and that if proof of this is presented - all UN resolutions protecting that state are null and void unless and until this is stopped.
