PM hopes world will wait for ‘right deal’ with Iran

Netanyahu commends remarks by US Secretary of State John Kerry over the weekend hinting at the possible extension of the Iranian nuclear negotiations. Kerry had said the world powers “have a critical couple of weeks ahead of us. But we are not feeling a sense of urgency that we have to get any deal. We have to get the right deal.”

In response, the prime minister says at the beginning of the cabinet meeting: “Following my speech to Congress, we heard – over the weekend – several of the major powers’ foreign ministers saying that they do not see the need to reach an agreement forthwith and that they will wait until the right agreement is found. I hope that these words will find tangible expression.”

“We will continue to take all possible action to deny the largest terrorist state in the world the ability to produce the most dangerous weapon in the world, a weapon which is aimed – first and foremost – against us,” Netanyahu adds.
