Israel accuses US of deceit on nuclear deal with Iran. Geneva signing drags out as Iran ups its price
The interim nuclear accord negotiated directly between Washington and Tehran was already secretly in the bag before the two-day talks between Iran and the Six World powers took place in Geneva Thursday and Friday. The plan was for a ceremonial signing to take place Friday, Nov. 8, after US Secretary of State John Kerry flew in from Jerusalem and the Iranian Foreign Minister confirmed “the general outline of an agreement.”
Half a dozen foreign ministers from across the globe flew into Geneva to add their signatures to the interim accord. But the signing did not take place and the event dragged on into Saturday, Nov. 9. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius remarked: “There is an initial draft that we do not accept… I have no certainty that we can finish up.” He also referred to the concerns of Iran’s neighbors in the Middle East.
French reservations on the accord were not, however, the main obstacle. It may be recalled that a last-minute phone call from President Barack Obama on July 31 persuaded President Francois Holland to return to their hangars the French bombers standing ready at Saudi air bases to strike Syria after its chemical attack. The French government will no doubt be won round again and give the interim deal with Iran a chance. The US president’s phone conversation with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu (“This is a very, very bad deal!”) early Saturday was a lot more heated. It took place after a three-day visit by John Kerry, which debkafile’s sources reported Wednesday hardly touched on the Palestinian question: Most of the time he was on the phone to the US delegation in Geneva, the White House and the Iranian Foreign Minister. From those conversations, Netanyahu learned to his dismay that the version of the accord he had received from Kerry in the first of their three conversations differed substantially from the outline prepared for signing in Geneva – especially in the key clause of sanctions relief.
This discovery precipitated the most furious row Friday ever heard by any US or Israeli official between an Israeli leader and an American official. Netanyahu angrily confronted Kerry with the charge that the Obama administration had deceived Israel every step of the way by letting Iran continue to clandestinely develop the prohibited military elements of its nuclear program, including the underground enrichment plan in Fordo; the heavy water plant for plutonium production in construction in Arak; uranium enrichment up to 20 percent purity; and now, the last straw, sanctions. While Obama and Kerry have admitted only to lifting “a few minor reversible sanctions” and “modest’ sanctions relief as part of the deal, Israel discovered a far more generous package of concessions was on offer. The Europeans would lead the way in easing sanctions to allow Washington to show clean hands – especially to Congress. By Friday, the Iranians understood that the Obama administration was so hell-bent on signing the first ever international accord on their nuclear program, that they could afford without much risk to up the price for their signature and extort more last-minute concessions.
So confident is Tehran that the agreement is safe that Reza Najafi, Iran’s ambassador to the UN nuclear watchdog (IAEA) in Vienna, said Saturday that he expects the agency’s director Yukiya Amano to sign a new accord during his visit to Iran on Monday, Nov. 11. "The Islamic republic of Iran has presented a new proposal that includes concrete actions, and we foresee that the text will be finalized on Monday," Najafi told state television.
debkafile: This item referring to monitoring is a key clause of the interim agreement still to be signed in Geneva and virtually guarantees that the ceremony will take place before Monday.
Psalms Chapter 2
Psalms Chapter 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Sweet words to the brokenhearted victims of Obama...;)
“Israel accuses US of Deceit”.
Anyone who believes anything that comes from the face of O turd or his administration is a ball lost in the high weeds. This is the most deceitful two faced administration in the entire history of the free world and they are now just accusing the chocolate crusader of being deceitful. Looks like even the intelligence of the average Israeli is falling. Must be something in the water.

“Chocolate Crusader” ...that’s sort of catchy...lol
““Chocolate Crusader” ...that’s sort of catchy...lol”
Had no choice, my wife has been monitoring my posts lately and pointed out I should clean up my act a tad from calling him a POS, Turd, and Ass..le. So, this is as far as I am going to go.
Speaking of assh..le, I see Tom Coburn called the little drip from Nevada, Harry Reid that term the other day. Reid approached him about it. Frankly I have called him that quite a few times and wonder why he has not approached me about it...I would welcome a visit by that guy more than willing the Lotto.
I hope that Israelis don’t take this personally...our government deceives us also, and we have to live here.
Israel is getting the same deal as the Czechs did in 1939 when Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler. Obama’s peace in our time will likely have the same result.
LOL! “WINNING” the lotto? Little hairy screed seems to avoid me and my correspondence as well. I’m only a few hours north of him so I don’t understand why he won’t drop by. LOL!
Face it! Obama is a Muslim...a Marxist and a thoroughly anti-American person. None of his goals are American goals. He must be removed from office before he brings the USA and the rest of the world down in flames.
Another country, an ally, questioning the veracity of an America president, again so soon? Herein lies the rub......all credibility is lost, if a leader is caught in a lie and fraud to his own people, how can that leader be trusted in anything said? Which is why there is no other option for this country but IMPEACHMENT. In the next three years there could come a moment where credibility becomes a matter of life or death, can Congress take the risk and allow Obama, a crippled leader, to remain in office?
He is in love with the Islamic terrorists and trying to destroy America quickly and has help of the useful idiots of the left and rino right.
Lucifer was described by the God of Israel, Jesus Christ our Lord, as a liar and a murderer from the beginning.
And so are all his slave minions who serve the fallen one for power and greed. And obamanation is one of them.
You know who I’d like to see at my door? DWS. I’d f*ck her hair up so bad it’d look good.
King BOZerO is a modern day Pharoah. Please dear God direct the plagues directly to him and his ilk but spare us who love you and Israel too.
Obama is clearly a national security threat for Israel.The question now is,what if anything are they going to do about him?
We should not be reading that the Prime Minister of Israel threw an angry tantrum. That’s what children do. We should be reading that the Prime Minister of Israel has begun to fight back against its mortal enemy, Iran, by destroying its nuclear installations. That’s what Prime Ministers who care about the survival of their countries do.
Israel now knows beyond the shadow of a doubt that the United States under Barack Obama is not its ally in its effort to deny Iran nuclear weapons but has instead taken the side of Iran. Which means that Israel should also know beyond the shadow of a doubt that it is alone, and that if it wants to survive it must fight back alone. Will it?
Obama, Kerry, Jarrett, Klinton deceitful? Say it ain’t so!
