Israeli Official: Gaps Do Exist between U.S., Israel over Iran Nuclear Program
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - Israeli officials said Monday that there are gaps between Israel and the U.S. over negotiations with Iran, as opposed to previous announcements made by the U.S administration. A senior Israeli official stated that while there is no disagreement that Iran is a threat to world peace and should be prevented from obtaining a nuclear weapon, there is a gap over the unsatisfactory demands made by world powers in the Baghdad talks, which do not answer Israel's minimum requirements that it believes should be placed before the Iranians. "The Iranians arrived at the Baghdad talks to gain time," said the Israeli official. "We are saying this with prior knowledge, not only from estimations."
