While the entire world watches events in Ukraine, and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is thrust into the role of a key mediator between Kyiv and Moscow, Israel is watching another dramatic development, in Vienna, where a new nuclear agreement between Iran and the world powers is set, so it seems, to be signed in the coming days.
Evidently, Jerusalem has not been happy with the proceedings, which, until the crisis in Ukraine broke out, seemed to be steadily progressing toward a nuclear agreement between Iran and the powers, as far as the West is concerned, depending only on the goodwill — or perhaps not-so-good, depending who you ask — of the Iranians. Since the Iranians tried to extract more and more concessions from the West, until only a few days ago Israel estimated a 50% chance of the agreement being signed soon.
