FILE-In this Friday, Nov. 8, 2013 file photo, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry walks to his plane after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, Israel.

It also highlights the Sunni world’s distress at the possibility of a bomb in the hands of a Shiite power.(AP Photo/Jason Reed, Pool, File)
