Bloomberg: Iran Deal Makes Israel Safer, Kerry Tells New York Groups
The secretary of state sharpens his sales pitch for the nuclear agreement with Iran.
Secretary of State John Kerry sharpened his sales pitch for the nuclear agreement with Iran, arguing for its benefits to Israel in meetings with Jewish leaders and a foreign policy group in New York.
“We’re gaining a safety and security, I believe, for Israel and the region that no alternative presents,” Kerry told the Council on Foreign Relations on Friday. If Congress rejects the deal reached last week between Iran and six world powers, he said, “our friends in Israel would end up being more isolated and more blamed.”
Kerry met privately with the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations and the American Jewish Committee in an effort to counter opposition to the agreement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies in the U.S.
