Ex-deputy DM: Israel needs ceasefire from Obama

Likud MK Danny Danon, who was fired from his post as deputy defense minister earlier this month, says Israel needs a ceasefire from US President Barack Obama.

“We need a ceasefire from Obama and the American administration. Just like the US is fighting the Taliban with determination, we must continue fighting Hamas and destroying its tunnel infrastructure,” he says in a statement released to the press.

Danon says the government must ignore the pressure inflicted on it and look out for its own interests.
