One of the most important policies which Yair Lapid will be required to formulate for himself when he becomes Prime Minister this week is policy on Iran.
Israel Hayom reported Sunday morning that Lapid would be subject to pressure to reverse the policy of the Netanyahu and Bennett governments of opposing the Biden Administration's intention to return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly clashed with the Obama Administration over the agreement. Outgoing Prime Minister Naftali Bennett changed course and largely opposed the deal in private rather than in public. Both agreed that the agreement was a bad deal that did unduly rewarded Iran with sanctions relief which was used to spread terrorism across the Middle East, did not appropriately ensure Iran's compliance, allowed Iran to maintain much of its nuclear infrastructure, and worst of all contained sunset clauses under which the restrictions on its nuclear program would end in the coming years, allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons without violating the deal.
Lapid will be required as interim prime minister to formulate his policy immediately, even before Biden visits the region next month. He will hear that a number of senior IDF officials - led by the chief of staff and senior officials of the Security Service and Iran's wing - support a return to the agreement, which they believe gives Israel more time to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon.
