White House Consults Israeli Officials on Final-Status Iran Nuclear Deal
(Jerusalem Post) Michael Wilner - The White House began consulting Israeli officials in Washington last week on terms of a comprehensive solution to Iran's nuclear program that Israel would find acceptable. U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice, along with her deputy Tony Blinken, held a series of meetings on Thursday and Friday with Israeli National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen and his team. The meetings come after President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed by phone to "begin consultations immediately" regarding a comprehensive solution with Iran. "During the meetings, the U.S. team reaffirmed President Obama's goal of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," the White House said in a statement.
