I Have "No Differences" with Netanyahu over Iran, Says Israel's Opposition Leader

(Telegraph-UK) David Blair - Isaac Herzog, the leader of the Israeli Labor party, has voiced "extreme worry" over a possible nuclear deal with Iran, declaring there is "no daylight" between himself and Benjamin Netanyahu on this issue. Herzog, who was visiting London for a conference, told the Telegraph: "There is no difference between me and Netanyahu in reading the threat of Iran....[In the negotiations] there are some issues that must be improved substantially and we are waiting to see." "One is inspections: it has to be clear that the inspection chapter includes the ability to have thorough, immediate inspections of all installations, 24/7. There are rumors of some vagueness. I'm extremely worried. I think that's the main tool to enable the agreement." In a striking echo of Netanyahu's language, Herzog added: "I'm pleading to the world leadership to make sure that this agreement is thorough and tough, that it's ironclad, because you are dealing with inherent issues of security, not only for Israel. Look what's going on: the Iranians are spreading military capabilities throughout the region."
