Dore Gold: A Deal on North Korea's Denuclearization Will Serve as a Precedent
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Former Foreign Ministry Director-General Dore Gold said that the signing in Singapore of a statement of commitment to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is "a bad day for Iran, and a good day for Israel, because the Iranians will be weaker today." The developments leave Iran now "more isolated in its uncompromising position on the development of weapons of mass destruction." Gold, the head of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, said that a deal on North Korea will serve as a precedent. "If Trump will succeed in bringing about the dismantling of North Korea's ballistic missile capabilities, Europe cannot argue anymore that it is not possible to get a better deal with Iran than what was already reached." Gold said a North Korean denuclearization plan will likely not include the right to enrich uranium, or a "sunset clause" whereby restrictions on nuclear development would be removed after a certain time - which were both parts of the JCPOA with Iran and key reasons for Trump's opposition to it.
