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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
