Channel 2 Arab affairs analyst Ehud Yaari, live on Israeli prime-time news immediately after Obama’s Iran deal speech in Washington, offers a “small” correction to the US president.
In the speech, Obama said, “This is the strongest nonproliferation agreement ever negotiated. And because it’s such a strong deal, every nation in the world that has commented publicly, with the exception of the Israeli government, has expressed support.”
That doesn’t mean support is universal, says Yaari.
“Despite the anemic statements [Secretary of State John] Kerry managed to get out of the Saudis and others, Obama knows it isn’t just the Israeli ambassador or AIPAC” who oppose the deal, “but all the ambassadors [in Washington] from the Gulf states, and others [in the region].”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
