An Israeli dentist has criticised President Barack Obama for failing to order U.S. military strikes on Syria.

In a new advertisement for dental implant services featuring Obama's jaw that asks: "You don't have any teeth?" an unimpressed Dr. Igal Balan criticised Obama over his delayed inaction in the Syrian crisis, New York Daily News reports.

Dr. Balan released this advertisement in Israel's Haaretz newspaper on Monday.

According to the report, an English version of the advertisement with the caption "Lost your bite?" was also released by Ahoy Creative, the Israeli ad agency behind the idea.

Omri Yerushalmi, the creative director at the agency, said the advertisement was meant to be funny and was not a political statement.

 

Some Israelis loved the concept, while others voiced their displeasure.

A majority of Israelis said they were disappointed by Obama's announcement to seek the views of members of the U.S. Congress before taking the decision on ordering military strikes on Syria.
