1st LD: U.S., Israel disagree on how to stop Iran's nuke program: Netanyahu

Xinhua, March 3, 2015 Adjust font size:

The United States and Israel disagree on how to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, but their alliance is stronger than ever, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday.

The deal on Iran's nuclear program that world powers and Iran are negotiating "could threaten the survival of Israel", Netanyahu said during remarks at the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington.

But the Israeli leader emphasized the strong relations between the U.S. and Israel in an effort to play down the rift between the longtime allies.

Reports of the demise of the Israeli-U.S. relations are not only premature, "they are just wrong," Netanyahu said. "Our alliance is stronger than ever." Endite
