White House Assures Jewish Leaders on Iran
(Jerusalem Post) Hilary Leila Krieger - Some 70 members of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations met with Vice President Joe Biden, Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough, Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides and other administration officials on Monday. The officials stressed their intention to maintain a tough stance during talks with Iran. Participants said the officials emphasized that the U.S. was entering the nuclear talks clear-eyed about Iranian intentions and with no plan to reduce pressure in the near term. The meeting at the White House, which usually happens once each year, focused on the Iranian issue much more than in previous years when the peace process and U.S.-Israeli relations played a bigger role.
