With reports of an imminent return to the Iran nuclear deal, Israel is being very public in their disapproval of the matter, and how ‘weak’ they think the deal ultimately will be.
The deal isn’t public yet, and looks fairly straightforward. Israel has been grousing at the talks for months, however, and the truth of the deal matters much less than the Israeli government being mad about it.
DM Benny Gantz was the most clear about how intractable Israel will be, saying Israel could never come to terms with Iran becoming a nuclear threshold state.
"Action must be taken to ensure that Iran does not continue to enrich in additional facilities and oversight must be increased," he said. Gantz demanded that the IAEA continue to investigate open files of wrongdoing. "Development of ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads must be stopped," he added.
"Iran takes over failed states, forcing them to defend Iranian interests while committing human rights violations," he charged of Israel's longtime nemenis.
This as Prime Minister Naftali Bennet said "We may see an agreement shortly," adding that the current deal in progress in Vienna "is shorter and weaker than the previous one."
