Ambassador Gilad Erdan Speaks Out Against Iran Deal
Israel held out the possibility that it would not engage with U.S. President Joe Biden on strategy regarding the Iranian nuclear program if he returns to a 2015 deal with Tehran.
The remarks by Israel's envoy to Washington came at a juncture for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Up for re-election next month, he has continued tough rhetoric on Iran.
The new administration has said it wants a U.S. return to the 2015 nuclear deal. Washington has also said it wants to confer with allies in the Middle East about such moves.
"We will not be able to be part of such a process if the new administration returns to that deal," Ambassador Gilad Erdan told Israel's Army Radio.
"We think that if the United States returns to the same accord that it already withdrew from, all its leverage will be lost," Erdan said.
"Essentially, the moment it removes the sanctions the Iranians will have no real incentive to negotiate and reach a deal that is truly capable of ruling out nuclear capabilities."
