Dennis Ross on why Netanyahu is right and wrong
Published under Israel, Middle East, Mideast Negotiations Mar 06, 2015In an op-ed in USA Today, reprinted immediately below, my friend, advisory Board member and mentor Dennis Ross laid out some very valid concerns on why the world community should not rush into a deal with Iran. He highlights just some of the questions the US Administration needs to answer to itself and to the American public before signing off. We should not be desperate for a deal, but quite cautious. For over ten years, like Prime Minister Netanyahu, I too have been very skeptical of any efforts to negotiate with a totalitarian regime that systematically relies on terrorism and aggression to advance an apocalyptic extremist and intolerant ideology. On this issue, I agree with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Dennis Ross. Indeed, there is broad consensus among political and security leaders in Israel about these concerns.
