Nah. I know he wants this nightmare to end, as do we all, but I can't imagine him beginning a conversation with the words
"I Demand".

This is a hoax:
Both the White House and Israel came out on Tuesday saying that a purportedly leaked transcript of a conversation between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fake.
The transcript claimed to show a phone call in which Obama demanded that Israel agree to a unilateral ceasefire in its war in Gaza. It was reported on Tuesday by Channel 1 News in Israel.

As always, good job!
The real question is: Is this proof of Israeli propaganda?
Despite the denials, Israel's Channel 1 refused to retract the leaked statement. Worse, it revealed the source of the leak as a "senior American official."
"Or Nahari insists that the transcript leaked to him by a “senior American official” is authentic, but acknowledges that the quotes he published were merely an excerpt from a long conversation."
All of which leads to three quite disturbing, for Obama, possibilities:
1. With Russia clearly ignoring US "superpower" status and openly defying not only the US, but Europe, and hence NATO, Obama now has another foreign relations disaster on his hands, where a former close ally of the US is now openly refusing to bow down to US demands.
2. There is a leak in the highest echelons of US power, one which appears focused on exposing the administration in a position of weakness
3. The media tactics of fabrication and lies, so prevalent in the US vs Russia proxy war through the Ukraine, have now seeped over into US-Israel relations.
Whichever one of these is the truth, it simply means that the old Pax Americana world, in which the word of the US president was final, is no more, and first Russia (and thus the BRICs), and now such staunch allies as Israel, are clearly defying the former. Or perhaps one should add former superpower?
Oh, I do so hope it is. I'm getting tired of seeing all the Hamas and Gaza propaganda, it's time to give Israel a chance too. I bet they can make better videos than Hamas, technology isn't a strong point for the people of Gaza.
The U.S. National Security Council and Netanyahu’s office have both issued denials that the transcript bears “any resemblance to reality,” and it’s already coming in for some mockery online. Channel 1 is standing by its report, saying it was leaked by a "senior American official.

If accurate Obama is a moron and has no clue what the hell he is doing.

The transcript doesn't read like a normal, professional, or serious conversation between two world leaders let alone two people. It reads like a script.
And then there's this...
