Top administration officials continue to criticize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for an upcoming visit to the United States that seeks to undermine a nuclear deal with Iran. Speaking to PBS, White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice said Netanyahu’s planned visit and speech to Congress has “injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only unfortunate, I think it’s destructive of the fabric of the relationship.” Speaking before Congress, Secretary of State John Kerry criticized Netanyahu’s stance without mentioning him by name.

Secretary of State John Kerry: “The policy is Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. And anybody running around right now jumping in to say, 'Well, we don't like the deal,’ or this or that, doesn’t know what the deal is. And there is no deal yet. And I caution people to wait and see what these negotiations produce.”

The United States and Iran will resume talks next week in a bid to reach a deal before a March 31 deadline. A leaked cable discussed on Democracy Now! Tuesday shows Israel’s own intelligence agency, the Mossad, contradicted Netanyahu’s claims on Iran’s nuclear capability.
