Officials said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu relayed this
pledge during meetings with President Barack Obama
and Vice President
Joseph Biden in March and April 2010. They said the prime minister
agreed to
wait until the imposition and evaluation of U.S.-led sanctions on the
Teheran regime.
“They’ve agreed the next step is the step we — the president of the
United States — have initiated in conjunction with European powers, the
NATO powers,” Biden said.
