U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Thursday he understands Israel’s “deep concerns” over Iran’s nuclear program and that the two allies share the same goal in curbing the perceived threat, although they differ in tactics.
Kerry told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program that he had just spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone before appearing on the television network and that the two had spoken several times this week about negotiations with Iran.
“We’re having a very friendly and civil conversation about this,” Kerry said. “I respect completely his deep concerns – as a prime minister of Israel should have – about the existential nature of this threat to Israel. We understand that.” […]
Kerry told MSNBC such relief is necessary and that the United States simply disagrees with Israel’s approach to tighten sanctions, adding that he is “still hopeful” about next week’s talks.
“What we disagree on is not the goal,” he said. “We disagree on a tactic. We believe that you need to take this first step.”
“Netanyahu believes that you can increase the sanctions, put the pressure on even further, and that somehow that’s going to force them (Iran) to do what they haven’t been willing to do at any time previously,” Kerry said.
