The Jewish and pro-Israel lobbys in the United States, including AIPAC, the Conference of Presidents and other organizations, are expected to oppose the emerging nuclear agreement between the United States and Iran. The emerging agreement.
The AIPAC has sharply criticized President Biden's decision to lift some of the sanctions on Iran over the weekend. .
An official statement from AIPAC said: "We are very concerned about concessions, without clear commitments from Iran to halt its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons.
"Continued pressure on the Iranian regime is critical to achieving a comprehensive and permanent diplomatic solution that will ensure that it never acquires nuclear weapons and ends its vicious behavior."

The position of the lobbies is important to the democratic government, since a significant majority among the Jewish community votes for the democratic party.
Criticism by the Jewish establishment, some of which is affiliated with the Democratic Party, will further weaken support for President Biden and the Democratic Party, who are also suffering from declining popularity.
Last night, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke with the US president on the phone, and the two discussed, among other things, the agreement being formulated with Iran. Tensions in Ukraine and elimination of ISIS leader Bennett invited Biden to visit Israel.
Bennett: The agreement is dangerous
Earlier yesterday, Bennett compared the US approach to Iran to a failed business move.
"Any sensible investor understands that investing in the Iranian regime is unwise, neither long-term nor even medium-term. In recent weeks, precisely during the negotiations, Iran has increased its aggressiveness and repeatedly terrorizes the region. This is how Tehran-style negotiations are conducted," Bennett said.
Bennett stressed that according to the information he knows, the agreement being formed in Vienna is bad and dangerous.
"We, as a government, have a responsibility to deal with the Iranian nuclear program, and of course we are closely following what is happening in the Vienna talks. Our position is known and clear - an agreement, under the guiding conditions, would be detrimental to dealing with the nuclear program.
"Anyone who thinks the agreement will increase stability is wrong. It will temporarily delay the field of enrichment, but we all in the region will pay a heavy price for it. These days we are closing gaps, and building Israel's military strength for years and decades to come. Israel will maintain freedom of action, with or Without an agreement. "
