PM asks ‘why hide details of Iran deal’ if Israel already knows what they are
Prime Minister Netanyahu on Monday evening refers to reports that the US will stop sharing information on the advance of negotiations with Iran. Speaking at the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, Netanyahu says that “just as Iran knows” what agreement is being offered, it is natural that Israel will also know the details of the agreement being drafted.
Israel is the country facing the greatest danger should Iran be armed with nuclear weapons. Israel’s consistent stand, says Netanyahu, is that the agreement being forged is a threat to Israel’s security.
“If there are those who believe” the agreement is a good one, “why hide it?”
— Raphael Ahren
