Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “in a state of shocked disbelief” at the deal apparently taking shape in Geneva over Iran’s nuclear program, Israeli television news reports said Friday night.
Netanyahu, the reports on Israel’s Channel 10 and Channel 2 news said, had “an unprecedented confrontation” with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Tel Aviv on Friday morning over the possible deal, which he publicly described as “a very, very bad deal” and which he implored Kerry “not to rush to sign” and to “reconsider.”
The Netanyahu government is “in a crisis of faith” with the Obama administration over the possible deal, Israel’s Channel 1 News further reported, in part because it apparently differs in content from the terms that Kerry had previously described to Netanyahu. Other Israeli reports said Netanyahu felt he had been “misled” by the US over the terms of the deal.
Netanyahu, who blasted the possible accord as the “deal of the century” for Iran, believes it would enable the Islamic Republic to become a “nuclear breakout state,” the TV reports said — since Iran would retain its nuclear enrichment capabilities, and would thus be capable of racing to a bomb at short notice at a time of its choosing.
Israel, the TV reports said, also believes the US has been negotiating with Iran in a secret channel, without disclosing the content of those discussions to Israel.
The TV reports quoted unnamed sources on the Israeli political right accusing the Obama administration of “throwing Israel under the bus,” and leaning toward an agreement with Iran that would fatally puncture the carefully constructed international sanctions regime against Iran.
The Channel 10 report said Israel’s security establishment was also “shocked” at the reported terms.

It’s not just Israel in the ME upset with Obama....our M.EAstern allies are fumming with Obama!
They know a Nuclear Iran will mean Iran will be coming soon for them as well.....which is why Saudi has positioned Nukes in Pakistan for delivery should Iran get the Nuke fully up. Just a matter of passing cash to Pakistan...the Nukes are already for delivery.
I do see him taking whatever measures he can and will do without the US....Israel did that with Saddams site...the administration was informed they took out the facility ‘after’ they hit it.
Obamas in worse shape with the M.East then Bush ever was....they ‘knew’ the “cowboy” meant what he said...with Obama they have Forest Gump chocolates.
Only Obama is incompetent enough to destroy our alliances with both Saudi Arabia and Israel simultaneously in one fell swoop.
Saudi Arabia is buying atomic bombs from Pakistan to deter a nuclear armed Iran, and Israel might be forced to attack Iran.
BHO and Kerry are imbeciles. Ted Cruz we need you!
I would agree that he will take whatever measures he can. I just don’t see those measures including an air campaign on Iran’s nuclear sites. I realize Israel has had success in taking out a reactor in Iraq and Syria in the past, but those pale in comparison to a strike on Iran.
