Prime Minister Netanyahu called the President today to provide an update on the situation in Israel and Gaza. The Prime Minister expressed his deep appreciation to the President and the American people for the United States’ investment in the Iron Dome rocket and mortar defense system, which has effectively defeated hundreds of incoming rockets from Gaza and saved countless Israeli lives. The President reiterated U.S. support for Israel’s right to defend itself, and expressed regret over the loss of Israeli and Palestinian civilian lives. The two leaders discussed options for de-escalating the situation.

Pitty,romeny would have sent military help
FYI hh, even if Mitt Romney had won the election, he would not have been commander in chief until Noon on January 20, 2013, which clearly would be too long to await to take charge of the current situation. in Israel.
No, Romney would not have sent military help. That would have started another war for the U.S.
