US Secretary of State John Kerry has given his first interview to Israeli media since spearheading the controversial framework deal with Iran over its nuclear program.
Speaking to Channel 10, Kerry sought to bypass Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's stern opposition to the deal by appealing directly to the Israeli people.
Kerry sought repeatedly to reassure Israelis that despite the criticism from Netanyahu and many others, any deal with Iran would be watertight.
"I say this again - we will not sign a deal that does not close off Iran's pathways to a bomb and that doesn't give us the confidence - to all of our experts... in fact, to global experts - that we will be able to know what Iran is doing and prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon," he insisted.
"President Obama has absolutely pledged they will not get a nuclear weapon," Kerry added.
The Secretary of State added that despite what he termed the "hysteria" surrounding the deal, Israel - and the world - would be safer after it was sealed. "I believe that where we are heading will in fact protect Israel," he stated.
He also dismissed critics who noted that the framework deal would expire after a decade or 15 years, meaning that Iran could have the best of both worlds - pause its nuclear program to gain relief from sanctions, and then restart it when the deal expired.
But Kerry said that wouldn't happen.
"We will have inspectors in there every single day. That is not a 10-year deal. Thats forever. There have to be inspections.
"Theres a lot of hysteria about this deal. People really need to look at the facts, and they need to look at the science behind those facts."

john kerry is khamenei’s party bitch, and it’s booty call. put on your clean panties, johnny, it’s time to go.
Bubble people like Kerry need to STFU
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Party bitches do not hold press conferences every five minutes. They just go in there and do what their man tells them to, whether anyone’s watching or not.
It will be a plausibly good deal, on paper. In reality, it won’t be worth the paper it is printed on.
What I don’t get is why the Iranians, who get their assets returned in exchange for a deal they won’t honor, keep changing the arms, as in “no inspections on declared military installations.” I know its fun to toy with Kerry and Obama, but I would have thought it was in their interest to play along and pretend for a while.
I wish that slimy bastard had died in Vietnam. Better men did.
Maybe they’re deliberately humiliating The One and The Two for fun, sort of like what the terrorists did to Daniel Pearl before beheading him.
Also, the Germans did not vote Hitler into office (even though he was wildly popular); however, America voted the affirmative action moron into office twice. America can be so proud /sarc
Ya know,,,, I went to a private Prep School in Shaker Heights , Ohio.There were a bunch of guys like Kerry there. They were jerk-offs, and they still are. Old money. Given every break. They did al all right in school, but they were idiots!
Kerry is a complete horse's azz...and proves it every day.
Kerry served in Vietnam damnit!
Some things never change...
And, Biden just said Iran is 30 days from a nuke. No wonder Netanyahu is enraged.
Kerry's been eating too many of Teraiza's rum soaked raisins.
But I don't know if anyone in FR knows this, Kerry did serve in Vietnam.
630 some days of this crap to go!
It might be a lot longer than 630 days if the wicked witch gets elected.
I pray every night that it won’t happen!
Kerry isn’t old money. He’s borrowed money.
