Netanyahu: Closer ties to Arab world the silver lining of ‘bad’ Iran deal
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says closer ties between Israel and the Arab world is a silver lining of the otherwise “bad” Iran nuclear deal.
Speaking at the Foreign Ministry, Netanyahu says that the 2015 nuclear agreement with Isran was a “bad agreement in every respect, except for one thing: it brought us closer to the Arab world in ways like never before.”
In addition, Netanyahu says that there is “gradual normalization” between Israel and Arab countries.
