9 Nov, Kathmandu- Israeli PM rejects emerging nuclear deal with Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “utterly rejected” the emerging nuclear deal between western powers and Iran, calling it a “bad deal” and promising that Israel will do everything it needs to do to defend itself.
He spoke before meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry, who on Nov. 8 travelled to Switzerland to participate in nuclear talks with Iran. Israel believes Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon, and says international pressure should be stepped up, not eased.
The six world powers – the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany — appear to be closing in on a long-elusive deal in the decade-old dispute over Iranian nuclear intentions. The United States and its allies say they are aiming for a “first-step” deal that would stop Iran from further expanding a nuclear programme that it has steadily built up in defiance of tightening international pressure and crippling sanctions.
