Isaac Herzog to French FM: Israel, world will pay for mistake in Iran talks
Israel cannot feel safe with the direction the world powers’ talks with Iran have taken, opposition leader Isaac Herzog told French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius on Friday, ahead of the latter’s visit to the region.
Iran took center stage during the lengthy phone call, according to Herzog’s office, with the Zionist Union leader saying Israel could not “feel safe or certain” in the face of agreements being reached with Iran.
Herzog, who is in London for a series of pro-Israel events, told Fabius it was “vital” that world powers negotiating with Iran “won’t compromise on important issues such as oversight” on the country’s uranium enrichment and nuclear plants.
“Any mistake in negotiations means Israel – and the rest of the world – will pay a heavy price,” he cautioned.
