US envoy to Israel: Uncomfortable for such good friends to disagree this way
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US ambassador to Israel says that disagreements between the two nations are legitimate, but their acerbity has left him feeling “uncomfortable,” Ynet news reports.
“There is disagreement among us, a deep but fair disagreement on serious issues relating to both our security interests — but it would be better if there wasn’t one,” ambassador Dan Shapiro says.
“It’s not a comfortable situation for good friends to be in such a disagreement,” he added.
When asked about reports that Iran would be able to self-monitor its nuclear sites as part of the nuclear deal, Shapiro responded, “The IAEA is a very professional organization and they say they are satisfied with all the conditions [of the deal].”
