US President Barack Obama threatened to take
military action against Israel not to let Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu strike Iran.
Netanyahu was planning airstrikes at an
emergency meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, Foreign
Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Chief of Staff of the Israeli army Benny
Gantz, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarîda said.
The meeting was held after it became known
that Barack Obama’s administration and the clergy of Iran had concluded a
secret agreement.
Israel even conducted test flights of its
fighter jets in the airspace of Iran after it became possible to
overcome the radar protection. However, US Secretary of State John Kerry
disclosed Netanyahu’s plans. Afterwards, Obama threatened to shoot down
Israeli planes on their way to Iran. As a result, the Israeli Prime
Minister had to curtail the operation. The relationship between Israel
and the United States have been worsening since then.
Benjamin Netanyahu has recently expressed
opposition to Obama’s intention to sign the agreement with Iran on its
nuclear program. The Israeli politician promised to make every effort
not to let the parties sign the document. The White House accused
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of having a destructive approach to the
relations between the United States and Israel. ARTICLE
