Netanyahu catches Obama deceiving American public in Iranian-nuclear flip-flop

Israel’s PM Netanyahu points out acceptable components in upcoming nuclear deal, being orchestrated by Obama, were just last year components that Iran ‘did not need to have in a peaceful program.’

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pre-election flip flop on a two state solution, which he later walked-back, will pale in comparison to a US presidential zig-zag if Netanyahu reported accurately to the Knesset on Tuesday on what will be in the nuclear accord being negotiated in Lausanne.
