Wendy Sherman, the head of the US negotiating team in talks with Iran, tells Israeli journalists that the sides can reach a good deal by the June 30 deadline, and that it will be better than the “alternative.”
She says the US plans on consulting with Israel over its security needs, which Washington is committed to, according to reports in several Hebrew-language news sites.
She tells the Israeli journalists that Jerusalem has the right to be concerned, but the deal that was reached is the only way to stop an Iranian bomb, with a military strike only being able to push the program back by a few years at most.
She adds that it does not make sense to tie recognition of Israel or stopping Iranian support for worldwide terror to an already complicated negotiation, instead saying that those should be dealt with in a parallel track.
