Friday, 24 December 2021 (YJC)_ The Israeli foreign minister said Tel Aviv preferred the United States and other countries to withdraw from nuclear talks with Iran rather than pursue what it called a "bad deal."
In a statement issued Thursday, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said Israel would prefer the United States and other powers to withdraw from nuclear talks with Iran rather than pursue what it called a "bad deal."
In an interview with the New York Times, Lapid claimed:
We have no problem with the agreement. A good deal is a good thing. The second (next) best option is to disagree and tighten sanctions and make sure that Iran can not move forward. And the third and worst option is a bad deal.
According to the New York Times, Lapid's remarks about the deal with Iran came in a video conversation from his office just hours after he met with Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan. Sullivan traveled to occupied Palestine in an attempt to establish what he called a "joint strategy" with the Zionist regime, while Washington claimed to be trying to restore order.
In an interview with the newspaper on Wednesday, Lapid continued to blackmail Israeli officials in order to persuade the West to put pressure on Iran and divert the course of the Vienna talks:
We have the right to protect ourselves from the greatest existential threats.
He also said that normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia or Indonesia was not under way at the moment, but claimed that discussions on establishing diplomatic relations with "several countries" were ongoing.
Zionist officials have repeatedly claimed that more countries will soon join the compromise agreements, but so far no new agreements have been announced.
