After Netanyahu played you like a cheap fiddle you said:
“We have and I have unequivocally condemned Hamas and the Palestinian factions that were responsible for killing two Israeli soldiers and kidnapped a third,” the U.S. president told reporters.
“If they are serious about trying to resolve this situation, that soldier needs to be unconditionally released as soon as possible.”

When you said this the Israeli media and IDF were still saying the soldier was '
missing in Gaza' and '
feared taken captive'.
I wrote about this in 'Gaza: A Tale of Two Missing Soldiers'.
And today the IDF announces:
The Israel Defense Forces on Saturday determined that 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin, previously considered captured by Hamas, was killed in battle in Gaza on Friday.

And if you read a bit more of the article you'll see that it seems that it was the IDF who initiated the 'breach of the humanitarian ceasefire', not the other way round as so loudly claimed by Netanyahu.
Goldin went missing on Friday during an attack by Hamas militants on Israeli soldiers in southern Gaza Strip. Two other Israeli soldiers were killed in the attack. The incident occurred during a breach of the humanitarian ceasefire declared a few hours earlier between Israel and Palestinian factions in Gaza.
On Friday morning, soldiers from the Givati Brigade’s special forces company advanced toward a tunnel opening near the outskirts of Rafah, 2.5 kilometers from Israeli territory. The tunnel was buttressed by reinforced concrete on both sides; defense officials said it had been dug into Israel with the intent of carrying out a terror attack.
Some members of the company, including the commander, Maj. Benaya Sarel, his radioman Staff Sgt. Liel Gidoni and squad leader Goldin approached the structure housing the tunnel opening. As the rest of the soldiers went around the other side of an adjacent building, combatants opened fire on Sarel, Gidoni and Goldin.

Let me ask again - Hey President Obama, how does all that Netanyahu egg on your face feel?
