Defining Red Lines on Iran and Clearing the Air with Washington
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon and Hilary Leila Krieger - Prime Minister Netanyahu's aides said Saturday night that the key objectives of his trip to New York - clearly defining red lines on Iran and clearing the air with Washington - were achieved. One official said a phone conversation Friday with President Obama and a meeting Thursday with Secretary of State Clinton "strengthened and enhanced our dialogue with the U.S. administration over these issues." In addition, Netanyahu's UN speech and his red line on a rudimentary sketch of a bomb received "almost unprecedented coverage internationally" and succeeded in putting the Iranian nuclear program "at the very center of the international political agenda." The White House stressed on Friday, following the Obama-Netanyahu phone conversation, that the U.S. and Israel were "in full agreement" on preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
