Netanyahu Tells Obama: Iran Deal Threatens Israel's Security


ARUTZ SHEVA: In post-deal phone call, Israeli PM tells US president deal will allow Iran to go nuclear and funnel hundreds of billions to terror.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke Tuesday evening with US President Barack Obama, following the deal signed between world powers and Tehran over the latter's nuclear program.

Netanyahu used the opportunity to express Israel's concerns regarding the nuclear deal with Iran.

Warning the agreement threatened the State of Israel's security, Netanyahu stressed two central concerns.

First and foremost, he noted that it will still mean Iran can produce nuclear weapons at a future date - whether in 10-15 years' time when the deal's limitations expire, or by breaking its commitments before that time.

In addition, Netanyahu said, it will funnel hundreds of billions to the terror machine, and the Iranian war that threatens Israel and the entire world.

Earlier Tuesday, Prime Minister Netanyahu launched a fierce attack on the deal, calling it a "stunning, historic mistake" and stressing that Israel is not bound by it. » | Ari Soffer | Tuesday, July 14, 2015
