Behind Closed Doors: Gaps over Iran Policy
(Israel Hayom) Dan Margalit - President Obama's trip to Israel has essentially been one of reconciliation, friendship, smiles and understanding. But friendship is not a substitute for policy positions. At their press conference on Wednesday, Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu couldn't hide the fact there are still gaps between their views. Obama believes he can prevent Iran from going nuclear and that he still has time. In private, he is probably pressuring Netanyahu to not launch an independent attack on Iran's nuclear sites. Israel, however, can't accept this demand verbatim even if it intends to abide by it.
