Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Sunday he would continue to try to defeat an expected agreement between the US and Iran over the latter’s nuclear development program as Washington predicted a handshake on the matter in the coming weeks.
“The [international] powers and Iran are racing forward with an agreement that will allow Iran to arm with nuclear weapons, something that will threaten the existence of the State of Israel,” Netanyahu said before the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu declared that he was ready to go head to head with US Secretary of State John Kerry in order to stop the deal.
“At the end of the week, Kerry and [Iranian Foreign Minister] Zarif announced their intention to complete the framework agreement by the end of March, and that is what gives rise to the urgency in our efforts to try and halt this bad and dangerous agreement,” Netanyahu said. “We will continue to act and to lead the international efforts against the arming of Iran with nuclear weapons and we will act in every way to foil the bad and dangerous agreement that would cast a heavy cloud over the future of Israel.”
The comments came after Kerry stressed to his Iranian counterpart, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, that the US aimed to meet a late March deadline for a deal reining in Iran’s nuclear program when the two men met on Friday in Munich.
On Sunday, Zarif said, after meeting with Kerry for a second time, that progress had been made toward a deal and that neither side wanted an extension.
Netanyahu is set to speak before US Congress about the Iranian nuclear threat in early March, as Congress debates a bill that would increase sanctions on Tehran.
The timing, arrangements and likely content of the speech have infuriated the Obama administration, and Netanyahu has come under increasing pressure to scrap the speech, both at home and in the US.
In the latest blow, Vice President Joseph Biden’s office announced Friday that he would not attend, claiming he was scheduled to travel abroad at that time. President Barack Obama and Kerry said shortly after the speech was announced on January 20 that they would not meet with Netanyahu during his visit, citing the proximity to Israeli elections set for March 17.
A Channel 10 news report Saturday indicated that some 60 Democratic legislators were expected to stay away from the address.
Netanyahu remains determined to go ahead with the address to highlight the dangers of a deal that would leave Iran as a nuclear threshold state, but is making an effort “to soften” the Obama administration’s anger and that of many Democrats by stressing that he believed the invitation to address Congress by House Speaker John Boehner was truly bipartisan, according to Channel 10 news.
Global powers have been struggling for more than a year to pin down a comprehensive deal to rein in Iran’s suspect nuclear program, after an interim accord was struck in November 2013.
After missing two previous deadlines, the group known as the P5+1 — Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United States — set a March 31 deadline for a political agreement.
So far, Iran has frozen some of its nuclear enrichment program in return for limited sanctions relief.
Kerry and Zarif have met many times over the past months, mostly in European capitals, as they have sought to hammer out a deal. Their political teams have also been negotiating behind the scenes.
Both diplomats were in Germany to take part in the annual Munich Security Conference, which this year is focusing on the “collapse of the global order,” and which Biden is also attending.
It wouldn’t be a problem id Iran weren’t a threat.
Jordan is finishing their first nuclear plant this year and Israel doesn’t seem terribly overwrought about it because Jordan isn’t a threat.
Democraps taking their ball and going home
Well it’s not their ball anymore, but they are acting like 5 year old’s.
Democrats are simple organisms.
They become confused and irritable if exposed to conflicting thoughts.
So where will all the anti-Semites go during Netanyahu’s speech? Maybe they will go back to their Democrat roots and burn a Menorah on his front lawn.
Send the list of RATs snubbing Bibi to every synagogue and Rabbi in the country especially Jewish RAT donors.
You would hope a few Democrats would say this is absolute lunacy on their part to boycott Bibi’s speech but it’s plain to see that party comes first before country to them. Their hatred for Netanyahu is because he’s not a rollover leftist as they all are and they all hope to see Bibi vanquished. This is nothing more than an extension of their hatred for conservatives, no matter where they come from.
"I like my chances in this battle. This shmendrik with the face of a horse is a complete loser."
I am just begging the Republicans to both video the speech and the congressmen in attendance, and not. They should go so far as to use CGI to show the names (and parties) of those who *should* be sitting there but are boycotting, with their names hovering over their empty seats.
The produce and mail a gazillion DVDs of the speech to Jewish communities all over the US, and to Israel. Give several thousand more to the pro-Israel Christian communities in the US as well.
This is a HUGE opportunity to just nuke the Democrats in the next election, with everyone but antisemites. It might cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in lost campaign contributions from Jews and Christians.
-——the framework agreement——
That is, there is actually no agreement. There is merely an outline of bullet points that can be agreed to be put on paper.
It is all a charade, an attempt to be seen as doing something when actually nothing of substance is transpiring. It is dubbed a structural framework
It gives Bibi an opening to stand tall and before the American Congress make a speech that would get no coverage if made in Israel. The speech is having a tremendous effect even befor it is delivered. Once again, Bibi has penetrated the thin skin of the pretender Obama.
Obama et al, the messianic pretenders, are outraged and can do nothing to prevent, much less mitigate, the bruise leaving slap. The speech is a masterful stroke by John Boehner and Bibi Netanyahu
Remember when the liberals took Bush to task because he would not talk to terrorists? Now the same libs won’t even listen to allies but that is okay.
Good for speaker Borhner. He’s finally showing a little backbone. As good a speaker as Bibi is, though, no speech is going to save America from the islamoNazi Hell Obama’s been so carefully preparing her for all these years. Especially if he can command our elected representatives to go AWOL and not even listen. Pray for America!
Skipping the speech is like putting your fingers in your ears and loudly singing “la la la I cant hear you.” They should be shamed as children afraid to hear the truth.
“They become confused and irritable if exposed to conflicting thoughts.”
That is why they are always confused and irritated. Cognitive dissonance is their natural state.
Dems show no signs of returning (Indiana House AWOL RAT Fleas missing for over a month now)
their...”TOLERANCE”..for truth..and light..is very very low
something to do with their upbringing
60 Nazis are going to boycott. It’s always good to know who the Nazis are who are living among us. Haters gonna hate.
