Prime Minister Netanyahu says that as Iran was welcoming the world’s concessions at the negotiating table, Iranian President Rouhani led a parade of hate in the streets of Tehran, where the masses shouted “Death to America,” and “Death to Israel.”
“Even if after these unequivocal calls to destroy those who negotiate with them, they continue with concession. It seems like some will sign the deal at any cost – and there is neither a will nor a way to avoid this bad agreement,” Netanyahu says at the Likud faction meeting.
“In any case, we did not pledge to avoid or prevent a deal, certainly not one the world’s powers are willing to sign at any price. We did pledge to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons – and indeed, were it not for our efforts, Iran would have had the bomb a long time ago,” Netanyahu adds.
“Our commitment to prevent Iran from acquiring nukes is in force today more than ever, and I call on anyone who holds the security of Israel dear to stand behind this commitment.”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
