Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will make a televised announcement Monday evening in what his office said would disclose “dramatic news” regarding the nuclear agreement with Iran.
In a corresponding move, Netanyahu cancelled a scheduled speech at the Knesset in honor of Theodore Herzl day. Channel 10 reports Meir Ben Shabbat, head of the National Security Council, will hold phone calls with colleagues in the UK and France to update them about developments with the Iranian nuclear program.
The announcement will be made from Israel’s military headquarters in Tel Aviv, according to a brief statement from Netanyahu’s office.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will make a statement on a significant development regarding the nuclear agreement with Iran,” the statement said, offering no further details. Israeli media reports indicate Netanyahu will address the Iran nuclear deal and not the overnight strike in Syria.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif disparaged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “the boy who can’t stop crying wolf” in a Twitter post Monday, ahead of the Israeli leader’s speech announcing “signficicant” developments in the Iran nuclear deal.
Wow, Bibi laid out a good case. I’m interested in seeing what the European leaders have to say about this. Or will they care more about commerce with Iran?
Who will save them. Russia? I bet The Donald has Pooty Poot in his pocket and Pompeo worked out what role Israel will play. This is high stakes poker and the art of the deal all mixed together. What a fine President we have. Finally.
p.s. The Iranian squeaking is pathetic. Boy who cried wolf. Ha.
