Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz goes to France with National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen and several other experts to consult with French officials on the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran, Reuters reports.

Steinitz is quoted as saying that he may meet with other European leaders as well.

“This is an effort to prevent a [nuclear] deal that is bad and full of loopholes, or at least… to succeed in closing or amending some of these loopholes,” he says.

The visit comes ahead of the March 31 deadline for the negotiations.
