Speaking to AJC CEO Ted Deutch in Tel Aviv, opposition leader Yair Lapid says that Israel is united against a return to the JCPOA nuclear deal or a similar agreement.
“The easiest way to get the Iran issue off the table for the current [US] administration is by signing a deal,” he says. “This will be very wrong. On this there is no coalition and opposition in Israel, everyone is on the same note, saying do not sign a bad deal.”
He adds that stopping Iran “needs to be part of a global mission” orchestrated by the US.
“A new version of the JCPOA is not enough to stop Iran from going nuclear,” he adds.
