Did ‘Foreign Policy’ plant false Israeli embassy story — leading to diplomat’s reassignment to Copenhagen?

Here's some high level intrigue, with the stakes being no less than Our Next War.
You might have seen the bombshell piece by Foreign Policy editor David Rothkopf
, "A Truly Credible Military Threat To Iran," saying that Obama and the Israelis are at last getting on the same page for a surgical strike on Iran that would only last a couple of hours and bring regional benefits to everyone. The article was a bombshell because it seemed the first real evidence of joint military planning. But it has apparently mislanded, and led to a clash inside the Israeli embassy between Michael Oren and his former deputy, Baruch Bina, and in turn led Israeli P.M. Netanyahu to dismiss Bina.
Here's the story as I understand it.
