"This hint that if the agreement will be rejected by Congress, then Israel will turn into a scapegoat, is unacceptable to us," he said. "Congress is sovereign to make any decision. If it rejects it, that means there is a big majority among the Republicans and also many Democrats who think the accord is not good and is full of holes, and needs to be rejected."
