The Prime Minister linked the genocide of 6 million Jews in World War II by the Nazis to Iran's controversial nuclear program, citing past comments by the nation's leaders on the destruction of Israel.
"As the Nazis strived to trample civilization and replace it with a 'master race' while destroying the Jewish people, so is Iran striving to take over the region and expand further with a declared goal of destroying the Jewish state," Netanyahu said.
His comments came after the US, Iran and five other nations set a 30 June deadline to finalise a deal which would end western sanctions on the Islamic Republic in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear programme.
