McGurk: Israel Is Concerned About a Deal That Doesn‘t Really Take Care of the Problem and Kicks the Can

RUSH EXCERPT:
McGURK: "I think it‘s pretty solid. There‘s always tension in the relationship. I think it‘s pretty solid. But look, Israel is concerned about a deal that doesn‘t really take care of the problem. They‘re concerned about an interim deal that kind of kicks the can and then snapback expires. And so that‘s where you get a lot of this tension. I think it‘s very good. Ron Dermer and David barnett, the director of mossad, someone I know very well, was also in rome talking to Steve on the sidelines of these talks. I think that‘s good. End of the day, President Trump has a lot of power here because he‘s got political force in Washington to do a deal. There‘s only so Bibi has limited maneuvering room with Trump. But you have to get a good deal. And I think to get a good deal on these issues, you know, everyone talks about enrichment. It‘s not just the enrichment program. It is. Since Trump left the jcpoa in 2018, Iran has installed or produced new generations of centrifuges. You have to take care of centrifuges, the stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. It is a very, very complicated set of issues. It takes weeks and months to negotiate of constant negotiations. So I‘m a little concerned here. We‘re being strung along, and I think you got to put some teeth on this. Every every negotiation has to have a deadline. And Trump said two months ago it will be two months. We‘re at that point. So we‘re now at the point where this can just get rope a dope. And I just I think you got to put a little teeth in here or we‘re not going to get a deal."
