Iran Deal Is Not Just an "American Affair"
(Israel Hayom) Mati Tuchfeld - In an interview on Sunday with President Obama, CNN's Fareed Zakaria said Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had "injected himself forcefully into this debate on American foreign policy," and then asked: "Is it appropriate for a foreign head of government to inject himself into an American debate?" On Sunday, a source close to Netanyahu responded: "The interviewer's question about Netanyahu's intervention in internal American politics was unfounded, as [the Iran deal] is not an internal American issue....It is also not exclusively an Israeli issue. Rather, it is a regional matter about which many other countries [in the Middle East] are also worried." An Israeli diplomatic official added, "How can one accuse Netanyahu of intervening in internal American politics regarding the deal when a majority of Americans oppose the deal and this opposition is only growing?"
