At weekly cabinet meeting, prime minister says that deal emerging with Iran is worse than deal that led to North Korea obtaining an arsenal of nuclear weapons.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday expressed alarm at the emerging nuclear deal between western powers and Iran currently taking place in Vienna.
Speaking at the opening of the weekly cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said that "what\’s coming out of the nuclear talks in Vienna is not a breakthrough, it\’s a breakdown."
Netanyahu said that the world powers were conceding more and more with each passing day.
The emerging deal "will pave Iran\’s way to produce the cores of many atomic bombs and it will also flood Iran with hundreds of millions of dollars that will serve it in its aggression and its mission of terror in the region and the world," the prime minister warned.
Netanyahu claimed that the emerging deal with Iran was worse than the nuclear deal that had been signed with North Korea which led to Pyongyang obtaining an arsenal of nuclear weapons.
"However, here we are talking about a very big conventional and non-conventional threat against Israel, against the countries of the region and against the world," he stated.
Iran and world powers made progress on future sanctions relief for Iran in marathon nuclear talks on Saturday, but remained divided on issues such as lifting United Nations sanctions and the development of advanced centrifuges.
