      Israel Does Not Object to Short Western Talks with Iran


      Israel does not object to talks between the West and Iran intended to stop Iran's nuclear development program, as long as Iran does not take advantage of these talks, according to a senior Israeli security source. The source was responding to word that the United States would be taking direct part in talks with Iran by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany.

      The security source told Maariv/nrg that Israel wants the talks to stick to a specific timetable. According to the source, the US talked in closed meetings about "12-14 weeks".
