From Haaretz:
US President Barack Obama has warned his Chinese counterpart that the United States would not be able to keep Israel from attacking Iranian nuclear installations for much longer.
As the article admits, this was all part of the political game designed to coerce Beijing into signing on to Washington's latest sanctions package, and it failed; China has continued to distance itself from the anti-Iran position.
The Chinese have even refused a Saudi-American initiative designed to end Chinese dependence on Iranian oil, which would allow China to agree to the sanctions,
So why have "senior officials in Jerusalem" chosen to leak this to Haaretz at this time?
