U.S. defense chief reiterates U.S. commitment to Israel's security (2)

Obama commended Netanyahu for his efforts to work with the new Egyptian government to achieve a sustainable cease-fire and a more durable solution to this problem.

The U.S. president also thanked Morsi for his efforts to "achieve a sustainable cease-fire and for his personal leadership in negotiating a cease-fire proposal," while the two leaders vowed to work toward a "more durable" solution to the situation in Gaza.

Israel confirmed on Wednesday evening that a cease-fire agreement was reached with the Palestinian militants in Gaza, after eight days of intense clashes that have killed nearly 150 Palestinians and injured over 1,200 others. Five Israelis have been killed due to rockets fired by Gaza militants.
