Israeli elections a cause of tougher talk against Iran nuke deal, says US official
A US official partially attributes increasingly outspoken Israeli rhetoric against a renewed Iran nuclear deal to Israel’s upcoming elections, in comments to the Wall Street Journal.
The unnamed official adds that the Biden administration and Israel are well aware of each other’s stances on a US return to the accord, which the report notes is widely unpopular among Israelis.
