The USA and Israel “Have the same view” in that it is important to avoid acquiring nuclear bomb the Iran despite their differences over an agreement being negotiated in Vienna, as stated today by the Jerusalem where the US Secretary of State is Anthony Blinken.
Blinken landed last night at Tel Aviv in view of a meeting with them bonds of from United Arab Emiratesthe Bahrainthe Morocco and Egypt.
The United Arab Emirates normalized their relations with Israel in 2020 under a series of US-mediated agreements known as the “Abraham Accords”. Bahrain and Morocco followed suit.
These agreements were reached after decades in which the Arab states made the normalization of relations with Israel conditional on the resolution of the Palestinian issue.
In Jerusalem Blinken first met with his Israeli counterpart Yair Lapid, who is also going to join the senior level talks later today.
The US Secretary of State’s visit comes as talks between Iran and the US on rescuing the 2015 nuclear deal are said to be in the final stages.
THE former US President Donald Trump withdrew from the deal, but his successor, Joe Biden, brought his country back to the negotiating table with a view to reviving the deal.
Lapid acknowledged that Israel was concerned about the settlement.
“We have disagreements over the nuclear deal and its implications, but an open and honest dialogue is part of the strength of our friendship (with the United States),” he told reporters.
The Israel “He will do” whatever we deem necessary to stop Iran’s nuclear program, “he said.
“As for the most important element, we have the same opinion. We are both committed, we are both determined to Iran “he will never acquire a nuclear weapon,” he said Blinken.
“An Iran with a nuclear weapon or the ability to produce one in a short period of time will become even more aggressive and will believe that it can act with an illusion of impunity,” he added.
According to Blinken, “the best way” to prevent this is for the US and Iran to return to the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan signed in 2015.
The revival of the agreement will “put Iran’s nuclear program back to where it was but from where it has ‘escaped’ since the US withdrew from the agreement,” Blinken concluded.
THE visit of Blinken in the region focuses on the Russian invasion of UkraineIran’s ‘destabilizing actions’ and Israeli-Palestinian relations, according to the State Department.
