Netanyahu's Speech: Premature Lifting of Sanctions Would Encourage Iranian Aggression
(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - Saying Prime Minister Netanyahu's address to Congress was well-received would be an understatement. The lawmakers who decided not to attend were hardly missed. U.S. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, who has not been well, made a special effort to attend. Netanyahu did not simply trash the nuclear deal with Iran and leave no room for negotiations. He held onto the ideal of a peaceful resolution of the conflict via a negotiated deal with Iran. Netanyahu proposed not lifting sanctions until the Iranians stop their aggression. No country more than Israel has a stake in seeing a peaceful resolution of the conflict with Iran, because Israel would suffer if the situation deteriorates into a military conflagration.
