Republican senator reportedly calls presentation on Iran talks anti-Israeli; aide says Kerry told senators to ignore Israelis
Republicans were left unconvinced after US Secretary of State John Kerrys closed-door presentation to the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday, which was aimed at delaying a new round of sanctions against Iran.
It was an emotional appeal, committee chairman Sen. Bob Corker said, according to the US-based media outlet BuzzFeed. I have to tell you I was very disappointed in the presentation.
He said that the briefings by Kerry, Vice President Joe Biden and Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman provided no details of a deal being considered in talks between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 in Geneva this month.
I am stunned that in a classified setting when youre trying to talk to the very folks that would be originating legislation relative to sanctions, to have such a lack of specificity, BuzzFeed reported Corker as saying.
Sen. Mark Kirk called the officials presentation very unconvincing, and added that it was fairly anti-Israeli.
I was supposed to disbelieve everything the Israelis had just told me, and I think the Israelis probably have a pretty good intelligence service.
The BuzzFeed report cited a Senate aide who said that every time anybody would say anything about what would the Israelis say theyd get cut off and Kerry would say you have to ignore what theyre telling you, stop listening to the Israelis on this.
Kerry said the negotiators should have a few weeks more to see if they can reach an agreement.
The Iranian regime hasnt paused its nuclear program, said Rep. Ed Royce, a Republican and House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman. Why should we pause our sanctions efforts as the administration is pressuring Congress to do?

No, so Obama can make the claim
He’s still making payments on his Nobel Prize
You can't write a better script in hollywood. Does anyone remember when Kerry was running for President in 2008? He declared he found out that he was actually part Jewish, in an attempt to garner more support from the Jewish community? Well, now he tells Senators to stop listening to the Israelis, and they do - they stopped listening to Kerry!!
Kerry is an anti Israel POS.
These self hating American Jews keep voting for the likes of Kerry. Insanity! Conservatives are pro Israel and dems are anti Israel.
