In a phone call, Prime Minister Yair Lapid tells French President Emanuel Macron Israel “will continue to do everything to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.”

Lapid reiterated Israel’s opposition to a return to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and said Western powers must not make further concessions to Iran. He said a return to the deal would provide Tehran with significant funds to boost its support of terror activities in the region.
