A row between the US and Benjamin Netanyahu has deepened, with the Israeli leader accusing America and others of “giving up” on trying to stop Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n
The US Secretary of State questioned Mr Netanyahu’s judgement on the issue.<\/p>\n
Republican leaders have invited Mr Netanyahu to address the US Congress next week, angering Democrats.<\/p>\n
A White House spokesman warned against reducing US-Israeli ties to a party political issue.<\/p>\n
Earlier, US National Security Adviser Susan Rice said Mr Netanyahu’s visit was “destructive to the fabric of the relationship”.<\/p>\n
In response Mr Netanyahu he said the US and others were “accepting that Iran will gradually, within a few years, will develop capabilities to produce material for many nuclear weapons”.<\/p>\n
“I respect the White House and the president of the United States but on such a fateful matter, that can determine whether or not we survive, I must do everything to prevent such a great danger for Israel,” he said in a speech in Israel.<\/p>\n
Late on Wednesday US Secretary of State John Kerry rebuffed Mr Netanyahu, saying: “He may have a judgment that just may not be correct here.”<\/p>\n
He said it was premature to criticise nuclear the negotiations with Tehran. “The president has made clear – I can’t state this more firmly – the policy is Iran will not get a nuclear weapon,” Mr Kerry told senators.<\/p>\n
He was speaking after returning from the latest round of nuclear talks involving Iran in Geneva.<\/p>\n
