Netanyahu: What if Trump-Kim deal was applauded in Europe, but opposed by Korea?

In a talk to the AJC Global Forum in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu uses the example of the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore to make a longstanding case against the Iran deal.

“We all know that in two days, President Trump will meet Kim Jong Un. The entire world prays for the success of this summit,” says Netanyahu.

“Imagine President Trump came back with some deal, and UK, France and others in Europe applauded the deal, and Japan and South Korea opposed it.

“That’s what happened with the Iran deal. This deal was applauded by many who are not in the missile range of Iran. But Israel and the Arab states opposed it.

“I think, as I told my friends in Europe this week, when Israelis and Arabs agree on something — pay attention! They must know something! We are committed to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.”

— Raphael Ahren
