Obama phones Netanyahu: Final accord will avert nuclear Iran In his phone call to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Monday night, President Barack Obama touched on the Iranian nuclear and Palestinian issues. The White House reported: “The President reaffirmed to the Prime Minister that the United States is focused on reaching a comprehensive deal with Iran that prevents Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and verifiably assures the international community of the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program. The President underscored the United States’ enduring commitment to the security of Israel and the importance of continuing close cooperation with Israel on this issue. “On the Palestinian ICC bid, President Obama reiterated the United States’ position that the Palestinian Authority does not yet constitute a state and is therefore not eligible to accede to the Rome Statute. President Obama underscored that the United States does not believe Palestinian accession to the ICC is a constructive way forward. The United States continues to strongly oppose actions by both parties that undermine trust and encourages both sides to seek ways to deescalate tensions. debka/newsupdatepopup/10175/
