Education Minister and Jewish Home party chief Naftali Bennett goes on a media blitz to American and English stations.
He tells CNN: “If a nuclear bomb explodes in London or New York, we know that we can trace it down to July 14, 2015.”

“This deal is a mistake of historic proportions. It effectively paves the way for Iran to become a terror nuclear superpower. The world is going to be funneling half a trillion dollars to the world’s biggest exporter of terror,” Bennett says.
Speaking to BBC, Bennett compares notifying Iran before nuclear facility inspections to notifying a drug dealer before a police raid.
“We keep on hearing its a verifiable sanction regime. In order to go and make an inspection you have to notify the Iranians 24 days in advance. That’s a farce! Of course within the 24 days they’re gonna clean up the facility, get away with the inspections and go on with what they do. Imagine a police station raiding a drug baron and giving him a month’s notice,” he says.
