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.

Saudi Arabia has stepped up efforts to pursue its own nuclear program, Fox News reported Sunday.
