Jerusalem Post: Israel source says leaked report of Netanyahu-Mossad rift on Iran sanctions is 'Obama's revenge'
WNU Editor: When the U.S. Congress invited Israeli PM Netanyahu to address Congress on Iran and radical Islam .... US House Invites Netanyahu to Address Congress on Radicalism and Iran (Sputnik) .... the White House made it very clear that they were not happy with this move .... Obama blindsided by invite to Israeli PM as Iran row with Congress intensifies (Sydney Morning Herald). And even though the White House is now saying that everything is OK .... After chilly White House response, Kerry says Netanyahu welcome to speak in US 'any time' (Jerusalem Post) .... you have to wonder if this rift is far deeper than what they are saying and it would be enough to leak a foreign country's intelligence reports.
Update : It should be noted that Israel's opposition parties are also not happy with this invite. They are in the middle of an election campaign, and they are probably not happy that Netanyahu is going to be receiving this free attention .... Israeli Opposition Slams U.S. Congress Plan for Netanyahu Speech (Bloomberg).
Update #2: Breaking: Full statement from Mossad head on Iran

This Mossad 'leak', what a joke, glad we are starting to get to the bottom of it now..
Its election time, we all know Barry doesn't like Bibi, America and Israel don't have problems but Barry and Bibi do. From my vantage point it all stems from Barry who has thrown his toys out of the pram publicly on more than one occasion..
Now Barry wants a government to come into Israel that is closer aligned to his world view, aka Herzog & Livni..
i.e. somebody who will cave into Abu Mazen's demands so Barry can get his success - he really hasn't had any, has he, like his mate JK?
I can't see it happening.
The numbers just don't add up for Labor to form a coalition.
Bibi, Naftali & the Religious parties give the majority any which way you look at it, Labor may poll slightly higher than Likud but the real winner comes down to who can form the coalition.
So expect to see more bad behaviour from Barry in the run up - any attempt to try to discredit Bibi..
