President Barack Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli planes in 2014 if they were sent to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities, according to reports attributed to a Kuwaiti newspaper.
According to the website Israel National News, the Bethlehem-based news agency Ma'an cites Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.
Al-Jarida reports that the alleged threat from the White House forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel the planned attack.

An Israeli minister on good relations with the Obama administration reportedly tipped Secretary of State John Kerry to the plan and that Obama vowed to shoot down the planes when they crossed over U.S.-controlled airspace in Iraq.
Al-Jarida quoted "well-placed" sources saying that Netanyahu, Minister of Defense Moshe Ya'alon and then-Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman made the plans for airstrikes after consulting top commanders.
In addition to the attacks, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to try to thwart any nuclear deal between the United States and Iran over fears that a nuclear Iran is a threat to Israel's existence, the newspaper said.
Israeli pilots reportedly trained for weeks on the mission and even were able to fly into Iranian airspace without being detected by radar.
Israel's fears of nuclear attack are not new. In 2007, an Israeli airstrike took out a suspected nuclear site in Syria. A 1981 airstrike took out a

The Jewish community of the US should hang their heads in shame for electing this vicious anti-semite!
For the first time I may have to actually give credence to the rumors and whispers of Jewish self loathing that creeps out of their communities world wide.That can be their only excuse.
I would refuse an order to down an Isreali plane.
I call BS on this story. For one, Obama doesn’t have any balls to go up against Netanyahu and Netanyahu I’m sure would take and welcome that challenge.
And also of the muslim world.
and to ad.. the last U.S. troops left Iraq on 18 December 2011 so in 2014, where is the U.S.-controlled airspace in Iraq?
And thanks to the enemy islamist in the White House, we no longer have any control over Iraqi airspace.
Do what you must, Israel.
Surprise surprise. /super sarc
The muslim brotherhood/al qaeda has sacked the White House. WTH will people accept the truth?
Moreover: what did expect from someone who conceals their identity? from someone who refuses to surrender the blackberry to the Secret Service for a secure device?
Espionage is the charge.
Obama’s people leaked Israeli plans to attack Iran from a base in Azerbajjan in the Spring of 2012 if anyone recalls.
Doesn’t the name Obama phonetically in Farsi mean “he is with us?” Pretty far out.
Just days ago, the generals were trumpeting plans to knock ISIS out of its most important stronghold in Iraq. Now, those plans are on indefinite hold.
The U.S. militarys goal to retake Iraqs second largest city from the self-proclaimed Islamic State has been pushed back several months at least,

Obama will never take the offensive against his cherished MB pals
Many American Jewish votes put him into office twice. What say them now?
Neither Obama or Jarrett or any of our resident criminals can get away with that.
I find it impossible to think of a single professional U.S. Air Force or Navy aviator who would follow the (illegal) order to shoot down an ally's aircraft in response to defend their very existence as a nation.
I would love to hear from U.S. pilots on this matter.
Anonymously, of course. ALL koranimal "news" sources are suspect. Lying is one of their most useful weapons, to divide and conquer.
think about it. “anti-christ” == “anti Christian”
islam is the opposite of Christianity
is 0bama muslim? of course (or he’s the only Christian in his muslim family)
I would not fire on Israelis regardless of what Obama says. Send me to Leavenworth.
Multiple Ditto
Jury trial; Certain of jury nullification.
We no longer live in a Representative Constitutional Republic. I am totally confident in my fellow citizens.
Is Obama out of his mind?
America is going to have to wake up and realize just what this dolt in our White House stands for.He is, by far, the most dangerous person EVER to hold the office ....I would not be surprised, at all, to see him attempt to hold on to the office when his term is up....PATHETIC
You really believe that any negotiations this administration is doing with Iran is not a stab in the back to the world and a free pass to a nuclear Iran????? I have a bridge to sell you oh and some lovely swamp land and Florida that you will love.
I know that was for a laugh but it is the argument that will be used.
A font of truth I have no doubt!
what a brilliant post.....PATHETIC
