Highlights:

  • Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has misgivings regarding the impending P5 + 1 deal with Iran to curtail Iran’s nuclear program
  • Some suggest Israel should leverage the impending deal for gains This would include pushing for closer U.S.-Israel intelligence sharing and securing U.S. guarantees to block U.N.-moves toward Palestinian statehood. This would necessitate Israel’s withdrawal from occupied Palestinian land.
  • The Iran deal is set to be signed in two months.
