Obama: ’Israel’ Afraid, We Can’t Maintain Iran Sanctions Forever
Local Editor
US President Barack Obama says anti-Iran sanctions cannot continue forever.
In a Friday interview with "Israel's" Channel 2 aired on Tuesday, Obama said "Israel's" policies in the region are driven by "fear".
"I think Prime Minister Netanyahu is somebody who's predisposed to think of security first; to think perhaps that peace is naïve; to see the worst possibilities as opposed to the best possibilities," he was quoted as saying.
"And so I do think that, right now, those politics and those fears are driving the government's response."
His remarks were in part a response to a campaign waged by Bibi to hamper a nuclear deal between Tehran and the six global powers, including the United States, which would put an end to sanctions imposed on Iran.
The US president said the sanctions cannot be maintained forever, ruling out a military solution to the standoff.
He further referred to the "Israelis'" "fears" and "concerns", reiterating, "A military solution will not fix it, even if the United States participates. It would temporarily slow down an Iranian nuclear program but it would not eliminate it."
Obama said "a verifiable, tough, agreement" would be the best way to address Iran's nuclear program.
Concerning the so-called "peace talks" with the Palestinian Authority, he added: "Already, the international community does not believe that "Israel" is serious about a two-state solution. The statement the prime minister made compounded that belief that there's not a commitment there."
