Update: Pro-Israel Group Denies Iran Deal with White House – JP Updates | JP Updates.

A pro-Israel group on Friday denied a report that it had agreed to refrain from pressing for new Iran sanctions as the White House pursues diplomatic talks.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Friday that a newly formed “quartet” of pro-Israel groups met with White House officials this week and agreed to a 60-day moratorium on publicly pressing Congress for new sanctions following a “contentious” meeting with senior officials.

Members of the quartet reportedly included AIPAC, the American Jewish Committee, The Anti-Defamation League and the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations.

A source at an organization present at the meeting told The Hill his group “categorically denies that any commitment was given for any such moratorium.”
