U.S. Jewish Leader: Several EU PMs, Including from P5+1, Very Unhappy with Iran Deal
(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - European leaders have reservations and concerns about the Iran nuclear deal, but have reluctantly followed Washington's enthusiastic lead, according to Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice president of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Hoenlein told the Israel Diplomatic Correspondents Association on Thursday that he knows first-hand that Israel and the Gulf states are not alone in their apprehension over the Iran deal. European prime ministers and foreign ministers - including from countries that negotiated the accord - are "very uncomfortable with this deal," he said. President Obama on Wednesday said Israel was the only country in the world to publicly oppose the deal.
