The Israelis view Panetta as an honest broker.
They shouldn't, but the statement shows you who they definitely do not trust.

Leon is seen as honest "one senior administration official said".
Consider the source.

"the White House was thrust into action, reassuring the Israelis that the administration had its own red lines that would trigger military action against Iran"
Those 'red lines' would be downward arrows on graphs representing plummeting poll numbers for the Kenyan Kid around say, October next year.
Otherwise, Israel is sh*t outta luck if they're depending on the U.S. to do anything about Iran.
Thanks George W. Bush, for talking the talk, and talking the talk, and talking the talk, and then passing it off to your Muslim successor.

You idiots need a trigger to attack Iran?!
Here, let me help you with that:
1983 Marine Bombing
Here is another reason:
Twenty-six years ago, the world watched one of the most horrific atrocities taken against innocent civiliansthis event was aired live on televisions around the world. TWA Flight 847 was hijacked, terrorists held their captives for seventeen days, and brutally murdered 23-year old Robert Stethem, a proud American and a U.S. Navy diver. This terrorist attack was conducted by the Iranian supported terrorist group Hezbollah.

At the moment any foreign ship is fired on in the Straights of Hormuz.
Once you start blasting their shore battery, there’s no point in de-escalation.

Why should any thing written by Eli Lake in the Daily Beast be taken as believable?
Why discuss a piece that is likely just made up?
