Israel’s PM Bejamin Netanyahu was quoted as saying on Tuesday :

 “The Iranian  nuclear deal is a bad mistake of historic proportions”.

Netanyahu, warned Monday that the concession being offered by world powers meant that they were willing to accept a nuclear deal at any price.

“If the concessions continue even after ‘death to America’ chants in Tehran, then it is clear that some are willing to make a deal at any price,” Netanyahu said at a Likud faction meeting on Monday.

“Were it not for our efforts over the years, Iran would have accumulated nuclear weapons already. Our commitment to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon still stands today.” He added.

Netanyahu said Tuesday that the accord with Iran will allow it “to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region.”

 

 

 

Lapid blames Netanyahu 

Yesh Atid chief Yair Lapid   a key Israeli opposition leader said on  Tuesday that  Netanyahu’s diplomatic campaign on the Iranian nuclear issue has been a “colossal failure.”

Lapid said the diplomatic efforts must now shift to focus only on the international supervisory mechanisms on the Iranian nuclear program.

In a separate interview that Lapid gave on Monday morning he said that Israel was sidelined from the talks with Iran because the White House shut Netanyahu out.

“I also am not thrilled by  [US President Barack] Obama’s polices. But Netanyahu crossed a line that caused the White House to stop listening to Israel,” Lapid told Army Radio.

“In the last year we weren’t even in the arena, we had no representative in Vienna, our intelligence cooperation was harmed, and the door to the White House was closed to us,” he added.

  1. Are you kidding me. What could Netanyahu have done differently. He voiced is concerns and the ramifications of what this BAD deal will ultimately bring about. He even pleaded the case in congress. How can Lapid blame him for this. Should he have kissed the moron Presidents ass. I am in complete awe that the people of the United States haven’t done anything about there leadership yet.

      We could admit that Netty is a ‘Wasp’ of the first order … and dictates to people who don’t like being dictated to. His ‘Diplomacy’ leaves much to be desired. One can think one is smarter than everyone else in the world, including the biggest ‘power-land’ government, but telling the world that all the time doesn’t win the points. Which is what Lapid is suggesting, in his own ‘superior’ way.
      In principle, MOST of us in the world probably agree about the need to keep Iran ‘in check’ … especially since we know what Death&Destruction they promote at every opportunity … but if ‘the world’ is going to allow the use of Nuclear for electrical needs, and somebody needs the electricity – although it’s the most STUPID way to get it these days if there’s a little light in the sky – AND IF they meet the ‘Standards’ set for this, then where is the concept of ‘equality’ when they are denied the ability to make it?
      Just make sure they are not as stupid in handling it as wanting it, and VERIFY CONSTANTLY – which is what that ‘contract’ is SUPPOSED to be all about. The thing the ‘pundits’ call a ‘deal’.
      And when Iran becomes another Chernobyl, well … they can blame it on the ‘Inspectors’.

    Iran’s problem is that the world community does not trust it , even if it continues to claim that its nuclear power is for peaceful means only . For this reason the UN agency should make sure when carrying out the inspections that Iran can not be trusted and check every little detail no matter what Iran says.
    For this same reason the world powers should take time in easing the sanctions against Iran to make sure the funds are not used for buying more guns to destabilize the region.

    Israel needs to come clean. Join NPT or shut up and back off. Everyone knows Israel has a nuclear weapons stockpile. Nobody is launching nuclear weapons at Israel knowing that fact. Your fear mongering failed.
