President Obama spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu today and reiterated his commitment to Israel’s security.
The President made clear that no country can be expected to tolerate rocket attacks against civilians.
The President expressed his appreciation for the Prime Minister’s efforts to work with the new Egyptian government to achieve a sustainable ceasefire and a more durable solution to this problem.
The President commended the Prime Minister for agreeing to the Egyptian ceasefire proposal – which the President recommended the Prime Minster do – while reiterating that Israel maintains the right to defend itself.
The President said that the United States would use the opportunity offered by a ceasefire to intensify efforts to help Israel address its security needs, especially the issue of the smuggling of weapons and explosives into Gaza.
The President said that he was committed to seeking additional funding for Iron Dome and other US-Israel missile defense programs.

The President said that he was committed to seeking additional funding……….. It’s all about $$$$$$$$$
What a mistake. At least destroy all their electric infrastructure before it starts.
#2, I couldn’t have said it better.
#2 avreimi
That would cause a humanitarian crisis. Something Israel has no interest in. Besides, if they wanted to shut off electricity to Gaza they can do it with a flip of a switch, no reason to waste a missile.
#2 and #3, there is nothing to destroy. Israel is their supplier of electricity. If they were interested in creating a blackout it wouldn’t take more than the flick of a switch.
Israels politicians are cowards who care more about the worlds opinion than the actual security of its citizens. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Gazans celebrate, another pr triumph for evil and israelis hang their head in mourning while the govt professes some sort of crushing victory until the next flare up with a more lethal enemy. How ironic, pitiful, and cynical that the muslim brotherhood who avows the death of jews and israel will be responsible to limit smuggling to those terrorist willing to commit atrocities against israel, the fox watching the chicken coop!!
