Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Friday that any final agreement with Iran concerning its nuclear program must include "a clear and unambiguous Iranian commitment of Israel's right to exist." Netanyahu convened his Israeli Cabinet for a special session to discuss the emerging deal's framework, a tentative agreement on which was announced Thursday following marathon negotiations in Switzerland. But Netanyahu said he and his Cabinet are "united in strongly opposing" the deal, which was made by Iran and six world powers, including the U.S.

The problem for Netanyahu is that he exhausted much of the international communities patience during his recent election campaign when he was very strong on his statements regarding settlements and Palestine etc. Even the USA got annoyed. This has seemingly resulted in Israel being sidelined more than usual. The power struggles in the region grow ever more complex. We see Iran with its fingers in every pie (Syria, Yemen etc) and Saudi Arabia now using its very high tech military too.
Meanwhile Iran is said to be ecstatic following the nuclear deal built on an all night coffee drinking session says the New York Times.
