Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Cypriot President Nico Anastasiades and discusses with him the importance of cooperating in the fight against terrorism:
“I used the word security because it is very concrete. It’s not abstract. We have, we are suffering from terrorism in this region. A lot of this terrorism in the region and beyond the region is fomented by Iran that, along with its henchmen in Hezbollah, they operate a worldwide terrorism network of over 30 countries in five continents, and you and Cyprus have already suffered three terrorist plots, including the recent uncovering of an apartment with an enormous amount of ammonium nitrate, a very dangerous explosive.”
Netanyahu uses the photo-op to again call on the global community to insist on getting a better nuclear deal from Iran.
“I mention Iran because President Rouhani said the other day that Iran has had so far a great victory in the negotiations with the P5+1. If Iran wins, the world loses. And indeed, it’s not too late. It’s not too late to prevent Iran from having an agreement that paves its way to the bomb, that will give it immediately 40 to 50 billion dollars of cash for its terrorist networks and its aggression in the region, and ultimately hundreds of billions of dollars that it will use to, for its plans of aggression and conquest,” the prime minister says.
“I believe that the P5+1 can get a better deal and certainly should have no deal if it’s a bad deal, and this is a very bad deal,” Netanyahu says.
