Israeli cabinet ‘concerned the US wants an Iran deal at all costs'
So desperate they look like old obsessive girlfriends disparaged[JPost] The Biden administration is open to hearing Israeli concerns, but doesn’t seem to be taking them into consideration, the source added. Israeli ministers expressed concern about the nuclear talks between the US and Iran, following a diplomatic-security cabinet meeting on Sunday. "The Americans want a deal at all costs and the Iranians know it," said a source in the meeting. The Biden administration is open to hearing Israeli concerns, the source added, but doesn’t seem to be taking them into consideration. The diplomatic-security cabinet meeting — the first in two months — focused on the Iranian threat a week after a major attack on the nuclear site at Natanz, as well as an attack on an Iranian ship serving as a military base on the Red Sea, both by Israel according to security sources, and as the US and Iran hold indirect negotiations. Cabinet ministers heard security briefings from the head of security branches, including National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat and Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, who plan to travel to Washington next week and meet with Biden administration officials. The ministers discussed how to respond to the US position, and will continue meeting on the topic next week. Posted by: Frank G 2021-04-19 |
