1 \ Israeli PM Netanyahu told French and German foreign ministers who visited Jerusalem today that he predicts "with high probability" that President Trump is going to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal on May 12th, Israeli officials who attended the meetings told me
2 \ Netanyahu told the French & German ministers that without significantly fixing the deal on three issues - Iranian ballistic missile program, inspections of suspicious sites in Iran & the "Sunset clause" – he thinks the U.S. will pull out from the nuclear agreement
3 \ Netanyahu told the European foreign ministers: "We can debate whether it (U.S. withdrawal from the deal) is a good thing or a bad thing, but it is just the reality. Then you Europeans will have to choose between the small economy of Iran and the huge economy of the U.S."
4 \ German FM Heiko Maas told Netanyahu Germany thinks a situation with the Iran deal is better than a situation without it. Netanyahu replied: "The Munich agreement from 1938 was also a deal. I also want to remind you what happened to the nuclear deal with North Korea"
Israeli officials added the French FM told Netanyahu he came back from his visit to Tehran deeply disappointed & frustrated from the position the Iranians presented regarding the European demands on the Iranian missile program & the Iranian activity in the region. END
