Netanyahu: US national security adviser did not share Iran attack plans with us

Netanyahu: US national security adviser did not share Iran attack plans with us | The Times of Israel.

(One crazy story after another citing “US Sources.”  Is this the WH trying to make Israel look bad while shoring up Obama’s credibility?  Is it pure disinfo, and if so whose, US or Israel?  All this while Romney’s here and the Aleppo battle rages.  Oh, almost forgot about the huge Russian fleet which arrived.  Is there any way these circumstances can be wound down without a regional war?  I’d like to hear what people think. – JW )

For second time since presidential hopeful Mitt Romney’s arrival, PMO denies report about US-Israeli relations

The Prime Minister’s Office on Sunday denied a report that a senior US official recently showed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the Obama administration’s plans for a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“Nothing in the article is correct,” a senior PMO official told The Times of Israel on Sunday, moments after Netanyahu met with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Jerusalem.

Haaretz reporter Barak Ravid on Sunday quoted a “senior American official” saying that Netanyahu hosted US National Security Adviser Tom Donilon for a “a three-hour dinner” during which Donilon shared Washington’s contingency plans for a potential strike on Iran. Ravid wrote that Donilon’s visit in Jerusalem two weeks ago was “the most significant so far between American and Israeli officials here in recent weeks.”

The PMO official flatly denied Ravid’s article: “Donilon did not meet the prime minister for dinner, he did not meet him one-on-one, nor did he present operational plans to attack Iran,” the senior official said.

The Haaretz story was the second article coinciding with Romney’s visit to Israel that the PMO has denied. Netanyahu’s office denied an Associated Press report on Saturday in which US intelligence officials alleged that Israel had spied on CIA staff stationed in Israel and which called Jerusalem’s alleged spy activity frustrating and a “genuine counter-intelligence threat.”

  1. If this is Dis-info then its being ramped up no end, possibly to obscure the battlespace just before an Israeli strike in Aug/Sep. The military build up in the region now joined by the Russian fleet is deeply concerning. Russia will not intervene directly against the US or Israel but my main concern is a miscalculation or an ‘accident’.

    Everybody spies on everybody, that is standard operation procedure. Heck the CIA spies on the FBI and the FBI spies back. Knowledge is power. For Israel to keep track on what the US is doing is not only SOP it is a wise thing to do.

    Israel will operate in Iran before the russian fleet will arrive here, for close monitoring the IAF moves. We don’t want a military campaign to be started , when the iranian – russian ” eyes ” are so close to israeli shores. Regarding that ” disclosure ” – american battle plans been brought on the israeli PM table – this is linked with Obama politics regarding domestic issues. ” Look – he is telling to the american people – i just signed on a bill for more help to the israelis, i even have plans to act in Iran if time will come, i am good.” He is also telling Netanyahu, ” wait, don’t attack now, we have better toys and plans.” What Obama isn’t saying is that after the elections he will burry Netanyahu and hard times will be in store for Israel.
    This is why IDF will act very soon for this ”gordian knot” – accordingly with Rupert clever definition – to be solved.
