Telephone Politics

Days before he is scheduled to speak to Congress, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on the phone with Secretary of State John Kerry to discuss the topics of Iran, Palestinian economic woes, and Mr. Netanyahu's upcoming visit to the United States.  According to the New York Times, Kerry and Netanyahu speak frequently about the state of America-Israel interactions; tensions have gotten stronger between these two states as the topic of Iran continues to polarize not only camps within these countries, but around the world as well.  Both Israel and the United States are pushing to come up with a solution to the Iranian nuclear problem by the end of March.  While the Kerry and colleagues believe sanctions would suffice to push Iran to "pull back" on their program, Israel is concerned that these sanctions will be inadequate.  -Kaytlin St.Clair
