Israel PM calls Iran deal historic mistake
"Iran receives "a sure path to nuclear weapons, while "many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted," Benjamin Netanyahu said.
TEL AVIV, July 14. /TASS/. Israel’s commitment to block Iran’s nuclear plans stays in place, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at talks with Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders in Jerusalem on Tuesday, labelling the Iran-P5+1 agreement on Iran’s nuclear program as a historic mistake.
"Iran receives "a sure path to nuclear weapons, while "many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted," he said.
Major concessions have been made on all points designed to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, he said. "Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region and in the world," he said.
"This is a bad mistake of historic proportions," Netanyahu added.
The prime minister urged all Israeli leadership to put aside petty political interests to unite around the problem that is most important for the future of Israel and its security.
