President Isaac Herzog warned Sunday that Israel will defend itself if the ongoing negotiations in Vienna to revive the tattered 2015 nuclear deal fall through, Ynet reports.
“Undoubtedly, the biggest challenge facing Israel and the United States is the common threat posed by Iran,” Herzog said during a ceremony in which the newly appointed U.S. eto Israel, Tom Nides, presented his credentials to the president at his Yerushalayim residence.
“Israel will accept a solution that will see the nuclear threat solved. In the event of failure, however, Israel will keep all options on the table,” Herzog added.
Herzog further thanked Washington for its unrelenting support for Israel, saying that the alliance between the countries should remain above partisan differences.
