It's come to this: France now looking out for Israel's interests at P 5+1 talks

With the United States deciding that it's more important to have a deal with Iran than to defend Israel, it has fallen to France to try to defend the Jewish state.
Delegates had been suggesting that "good progress" had been made but one Western diplomat told Associated Press they were now preparing an announcement of a new meeting in a few weeks' time.
The diplomat said France was holding out for tougher conditions.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told France Inter Radio his nation did not want to be part of a "sucker's deal" and referred to "several points that.. we're not satisfied with compared with the initial text".
One sticking point Mr Fabius mentioned was whether Iran should suspend operations at its Arak research reactor - a possible producer of weapons-grade plutonium.
Another was that Tehran was resisting demands to downgrade its stockpile of uranium enriched to 20%, he said.
 I find it astounding that the United States is willing to sign onto a deal that even France calls a 'sucker's deal.' Obama will live in infamy,

Carl -

A kind correction - France is looking out for itself not for Israel.

Its blocking a deal to show the Americans what its like to be upstaged.

They haven't forgotten the way Obama tossed them aside during the Syrian crisis. And they owe the US no favors.
