| Iran must recognize Israel's right to exist: Netanyahu |
| 2015-04-04 |
| [AA.TR] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country would not accept any Iranian nuclear deal that did not include Tehran's recognition of Israel's right to exist. Speaking after a Friday cabinet meeting, Netanyahu slammed a framework deal signed Thursday between Iran and world powers as a "threat to Israel and the world." "The [Israeli] cabinet is united in strongly opposing the proposed deal. This deal would pose a grave danger to the region and to the world and would threaten the very survival of the State of Israel," he asserted. He also said the framework agreement would lend international legitimacy to Iran's nuclear program. "The deal will not shut down a single nuclear facility in Iran, will not destroy a single centrifuge in Iran, and will not stop research and development on Iran's advanced centrifuges," Netanyahu said. "On the contrary," he added, "the deal will legitimize Iran's illegal nuclear program. It will leave Iran with a vast nuclear infrastructure." He went on: "The deal will lift sanctions almost immediately -- and this at the very time that Iran is stepping up its aggression and terror in the region and beyond the region." Netanyahu added that Israel would not accept any future agreement that did not include Iran's recognition of Israel's right to exist. "Iran is a regime that openly calls for Israel's destruction and openly and actively works towards that end," he said. "Israel will not accept an agreement that allows a country that vows to annihilate us to develop nuclear weapons, period," he added. "In addition," he went on, "Israel demands that any final agreement with Iran include clear and unambiguous Iranian recognition of Israel's right to exist." |
