++Israeli officials denounced the deal as bad as did other Arab states.
++The Iran deal--which would be the basic agreement that would be hammered out by June--is scheduled to be signed on Tuesday.
++Francois Hollande says the France will be working on a Security Council resolution outlining the way to a Palestinian state.
++The State Department and Tony Blair (remember him) praised the government of Israel for finally releasing the tax money from the Palestinians back to the PA.
++John Bolton says we should bomb Iran. If Iran cheats on the agreement and ends up with a bomb, it would equal about the time their program would need after Bolton bombed them. So the agreement avoids Iranian retaliation and collateral damage to American interests and may very well work.
++Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia are invading Yemen and say they will clean up in a few days.
++Josh Marshall says there are pros and cons to this. We wanted Arab states to start taking initiatives against security threats without needing our forces. That's a good thing but the bad is that we don't control where and when sanctions take place.
++I was with many people today who oppose the Iran deal. They claim the Obama Administration doesn't seem to be concerned with the role of Pakistan in nuclear proliferation. I agree. They go on to say that because of the Iran deal, the Saudis will get a bomb from Pakistan. We know from the Economist they already have one pre-ordered. Also the Saudis have said that allowing Iran nuclear fuel, they should get some.
