PM: If you don’t violate a dangerous deal, it doesn’t make it less dangerous

In a briefing with foreign reporters, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disputes arguments from deal proponents that the intelligence trove he unveiled last week had no new details.

“My point is very simple: if you don’t violate a dangerous deal, it doesn’t make it less dangerous,” Netanyahu says.

“And to those who say that this proves why you need the deal, I say that a deal that enables Iran to keep and hide all its nuclear weapons know-how is a horrible deal,” he adds.

The deal “has to be either fully fixed or fully nixed,” he says. “But if you do nothing to this deal, if you keep it as is, you will end up with Iran with a nuclear arsenal in a very short time.”
