Save your breath, Lurch.

Via The Hill:

Secretary of State John Kerry is headed to Jerusalem next week to reassure Israel about the Obama administration’s deal with Iran, the State Department announced Wednesday.

Kerry will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has called last weekend’s interim agreement to loosen sanctions in exchange for Iran freezing its nuclear program a “historic mistake.” Netanyahu said earlier this week he would also be dispatching his national security adviser, Yossi Cohen, to Washington for talks with the Obama administration about what a final agreement over Iran’s nuclear program should look like.

Israel and its allies on Capitol Hill are concerned that the preliminary deal reached in Geneva does not go far enough in setting back Iran’s nuclear program, even as it begins to take down some sanctions. They want a final deal to ban Iran from enriching uranium on its territory, a nonstarter for Iran.

Kerry will also be pushing Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to revive peace talks. Kerry helped kickstart the effort three months ago, but it has stalled among recriminations over Israeli settlements and other issues.
