Report: Obama Administration Stopped Israel From Assassinating Soleimani in 2015
PJ Media ^ | January 3, 2020 | Tyler O'Neil

When President Donald Trump gave the order to kill Iran's Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani, he not only made an arguably proportionate response to the invasion of the U.S. Embassy this week but he also reversed a policy of the Obama administration. According to a report from 2018, Israel was "on the verge" of assassinating Soleimani in 2015, but Obama's officials foiled the plan. In fact, they reached out to Iran with news of Israel's plans.

The Trump administration, on the other hand, gave Israel a green light to assassinate Soleimani, according to a January 1, 2018 report from the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida. The paper quoted a source in Jerusalem as saying that "there is an American-Israeli agreement" that Soleimani is a "threat to the two countries' interests in the region." According to Haaretz, Al-Jarida is generally assumed to be a platform for the Israeli government to disseminate its message to other Middle Eastern governments.

According to the report, the agreement between Israel and the U.S. came three years after Washington thwarted an Israeli attempt to kill the Iranian general.

"The report says Israel was 'on the verge' of assassinating Soleimani three years ago, near Damascus, but the United States warned the Iranian leadership of the plan, revealing that Israel was closely tracking the Iranian general," Haaretz reported.

The incident "sparked a sharp disagreement between the Israeli and American security and intelligence apparatuses regarding the issue." That sounds like an understatement.

Just another example of why the founders were correct to restrict the office to natural born citizens only.
Obama is not one.
None of the popular children of foreign nationals are.
They were all born with divided citizenship.

Just out of curiosity - what’s happening in front of the US Embassy in Baghdad today?

Probably not much.

Probably at worst a job fair for terrorists. Plenty of openings and a chance for a quick retirement. Only problem for new applicants is that they have to prove they hate America more than our democrats and MSM do. Not an easy task.

How many Americans were killed by this POS since Obongo stopped Israel? Don’t expect any MSM outlet to ask that question.

I am generally a fan of Israel, but telling the #1 enemy of Israel that they wanted to take out Israel's #2 enemy was foolish. Of course Barack Hussein warned Iran.

There are many here that oppose upholding that particular part of the Constitution.

As we found out during the Kenyanesian Usurpation:

Forfeit part, lose all.

I think it’s safe to say we were likely spying on Israel.
