The Obama administration demands were relayed through Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Intelligence Minister Dan Meridor, the sources said. They said Barak, who has sought advanced weapons from Washington, persuaded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree that the Israel Navy would not use anti-riot equipment, including tear gas, to stop the flotilla.

Leverage. Of course you're correct. Obama didn't actually stop Israel, he just presented a situation under which PM Netanyahu thought it was beneficial to take Obama's "advice." Presumably Netanyahu now knows better.

Why, oh why, would Israel pay any attention to any such micro-management by the 2nd Cahtuh administration?
