Washington decides to “embrace” Israel with benefits

Washington decides to “embrace” Israel with benefits 
Debka 27-Nov-13 

President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have decided to end the row with the Netanyahu government over the interim nuclear accord signed with Iran Sunday, Nov. 24 in Geneva, partly to gain the prime minister’s cooperation for bringing the peace process with the Palestinians to a resolution. On this they are set. Instead of hitting back at Binyamin Netanyahu, Washington is lining up a package of benefits, including an upgrade of the Israeli Air Force with new offensive measures currently not in its possession. This upgrade will be affected by the level of Iran’s compliance or non-compliance with its obligations under the first-step accord.
