US Official: Netanyahu’s Response To Iran Deal ‘Weak And Desperate’ -- Times of Israel
Unnamed White House staffer reportedly says PM losing support in Washington over his attempts to sway Congress
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vocal opposition to the P5+1 nations’ signing of an interim deal with Iran last week was “weak and desperate,” an unnamed senior official at the White House reportedly said Sunday, adding that the Obama administration considered Netanyahu’s complaints to be of no great concern to the US diplomatic effort.
According to a Channel 10 news report, the senior American official added that although the White House believes Netanyahu will attempt to thwart US government policy by appealing to members of Congress, the Obama administration does not see the Israeli prime minister as a threat in this regard.
Netanyahu’s statements since the interim deal with Iran was signed early last Sunday “indicate a lack of self-confidence. We’re not excited about his vocal opposition,” the official was quoted saying.
