Jewish senator calls for longer sunset clause

Former chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) complains that Netanyahu had dismissed the impending deal, without explicating what would happen if no deal was reached.

“You have to think what happens if there is no deal,” Feinstein explains. “Does Israel do this [attack Iran] and what is then expected of the United States? Do we create a major conflagration in the Middle East?”

Feinstein indicates that she – like Netanyahu – thought that the ten-year window for the deal was too short, and that a fifteen- or twenty-year window would be preferable.”
