Olmert: Will Putin save us, or Obama?

Former prime minister Ehud Olmert addressed the Iranian deal at the INSS: "Until 2009 we managed in silence, after that our policy changed to screams and threats and financial outlays of more than NIS 10 billion ($2.83 billion)."

He added: "If we had used those warnings in the proper way, through the confidential backchannels which we had built for decades with the American administration, we would have made it easier for that administration to make the decisions we wanted. Will the savior in the Iranian matter be Putin, or Obama?" (Attila Somfalvi)
