Ehud Barak Sees Zero Chance of Iran Deal Before Deadline
Ehud Barak said he sees 'zero' chance of an Iran nuclear deal that would be acceptable to the current Israeli Prime Minister.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak said he sees 'zero' chance of an Iran nuclear deal that would be acceptable to the current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and just a 10% chance of a deal that would be acceptable to U.S. President Obama. Barak's remarks came in an interview with TheStreet at the CME Group Global Financial Leadership Conference in Naples, Fla. Barak also discussed the impact on the Israeli economy, including addressing the threat that young Israelis might be tempted to leave Israeli if no progress is made on addressing the Iran nuclear threat. Barak's comments come ahead of a Nov. 24 deadline for an agreement between Iran and six Western powers.
