It must be a great agreement if Jimmy Carter is in favor
“We are all aware of the risks involved,” said Jimmy Carter. “But I am convinced that, after 35 years of animosity and distrust, there is an historic opportunity to rebuild relations with the government and people of Iran on solid foundations of mutual respect.”
Kofi Annan, the chairman of the Elders and former secretary-general of the UN, said he hoped the deal would be "swiftly followed up with practical measures to put the agreement into effect. "After years of inconclusive negotiations, this is an important step forward in restoring confidence between Iran and the international community," Annan said.
In contrast to Carter, who considers the deal an historic opportunity, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "historic mistake" at the weekly cabinet meeting Sunday.
"What was achieved last night in Geneva is not a historic agreement; it is a historic mistake," he said. "Today the world has become a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world has taken a significant step toward attaining the most dangerous weapon in the world."For the record, Israel Radio reported at 10:00 pm that Netanyahu says 'the more that comes out about this deal, the worse it looks.' Carter, on the other hand, loves it.
