Obama 'Yelled' At Netanyahu In Ceasefire Demand!

NEWSMAX “It was not a pleasant conversation if you saw what happened . . . it was not pleasant,” Danny Danon — a Likud party member of the Knesset and Netanyahu’s former deputy minister of defense — said on “The Steve Malzberg Show.” “He was yelling and telling Prime Minister Netanyahu what he should do and what he should not do.
“I tell you very frankly, we have a very close relationship with
the U.S. — the strongest ally of Israel. But this is not a way to treat
the leader of an ally country.” According to Danon, the fireworks
erupted as Obama urged a permanent end to the hostilities between Israel
and Hamas, which last week began firing rockets at key Israeli cities,
prompting retaliation.
But Obama’s tone was uncalled for, Danon
said. “He is not talking, President Obama, with a leader of the
Taliban. He is talking with the leader of the state of Israel, of the
Jewish people, and when we are in a time of war. We need the backing and
the support of the U.S. Unfortunately, we do not have it now,” Danon
said. “[It's] not pleasant, to hear such a voice when you have so much
pressure.”
Danon added that he thinks a permanent ceasefire is impossible for
now as Hamas continues fighting. “I can tell you it is not easy for us
when we see our boys being buried on a daily basis,” he said. “As we
speak now, when I’m on my way to Jerusalem, we have air-raid sirens
going off and we are still under attack from rocket attacks as we speak.
“I urge Prime Minister Netanyahu and my friends in the cabinet to
be strong now and to do whatever is good for Israel, even if it means to
tell President Obama, no, we cannot satisfy your wishes or your
pressure to sign a ceasefire, which would be bad for Israel now,” Danon
told host Steve Malzberg.
“It is an insult the way President Obama is treating Israel and
Secretary [of State John] Kerry is treating Israel. It is an insult for
us,” he said.”The demand to have a ceasefire . . . is unacceptable. The
U.S. knows how to fight al-Qaida and the Taliban, and we are fighting
Hamas . . . You don't beg for a ceasefire.
