PATRICK MARTIN
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched an unexpected attack this week on the worlds six major powers led by President Barack Obama over how they were conducting nuclear talks with Iran. The attack underscored the fact that relations between the Israeli and U.S. leaders are as bad as they ever were, just as the presidential election in the United States gets into full swing.
Indeed, indications are that not only is Mr. Netanyahu more comfortable with the views on Iran held by Mitt Romney, the leading Republican candidate who is sure to be Mr. Obamas opponent in this years election, but also with Mr. Romney as a person.
Mr. Netanyahu accuses the world powers of stringing out their talks with Iran over its nuclear program. His criticism came one day after the first meeting between Iran and representatives from the so-called five-plus-one countries: the five members of the United Nations Security Council Russia, China, France, Great Britain and the United States plus Germany.
My initial impression is that Iran has been given a freebie, Mr. Netanyahu said, referring to the five-week hiatus before the second round of the talks and complained that the gap will allow Iran to continue enrichment [of uranium] without any limitation, any inhibition.
