The information was discovered by Ma’an , A Bethlehem-based News organization citing a Kuwait newspaper report Saturday.

According to Al Jarida, the decision came after Israel learned that TOA (The Obama Administration) was engaging in secret negotiations with Iran in regards to its Nuclear efforts — Furthermore, TOA was doing this behind Israel’s back.
According to the report, Netanyahu and his officials agreed after several days of discussions. They decided to do whatever necessary to stop Iran from attaining Nuclear weapons because it would endanger the security of Israel. The Strike had been decided upon.
So Israel reportedly conducted practice drills that simulated the upcoming airstrike to ensure that the mission would be successful. However a top Israeli minister who “Has Good ties with The Administration” revealed the plans to US Secretary of State John Kerry who then informed the President.
It was then that President Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their intended targets.
According to sources, the Israeli PM decided against the strike in order to preserve Israeli-American relations.
UPDATE: The Obama Administration has denied this claim.
