I just came from a meeting of the Israeli cabinet. We discussed the proposed framework for a deal with Iran.
Any deal must significantly roll back Iran’s nuclear capabilities and stop its terrorism and aggression. #IranTalks pic.twitter.com/BOQ7YcHxyn
— בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) April 2, 2015This deal would pose a grave danger to the region and to the world and would threaten the very survival of the State of Israel.
The deal would not shut down a single nuclear facility in Iran, would not destroy a single centrifuge in Iran and will not stop R&D on Iran's advanced centrifuges.
On the contrary. The deal would legitimize Iran's illegal nuclear program. It would leave Iran with a vast nuclear infrastructure. A vast nuclear infrastructure remains in place.
The deal would 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.
In a few years, the deal would remove the restrictions on Iran's nuclear program, enabling Iran to have a massive enrichment capacity that it could use to produce many nuclear bombs within a matter of months.
The deal would greatly bolster Iran's economy. It would give Iran thereby tremendous means to propel its aggression and terrorism throughout the Middle East.
Such a deal does not block Iran's path to the bomb.
Such a deal paves Iran's path to the bomb.
And it might very well spark a nuclear arms race throughout the Middle East and it would greatly increase the risks of terrible war.
Now, some say that the only alternative to this bad deal is war.
That's not true.
There is a third alternative – standing firm, increasing the pressure on Iran until a good deal is achieved.
And finally let me say one more thing.
Iran is a regime that openly calls for Israel's destruction and openly and actively works towards that end.
Just two days ago, in the midst of the negotiations in Lausanne, the commander of the Basij security forces in Iran said this: "The destruction of Israel is non-negotiable."
Well, I want to make clear to all. The survival of Israel is non-negotiable.
Israel will not accept an agreement which allows a country that vows to annihilate us to develop nuclear weapons, period.
In addition, Israel demands that any final agreement with Iran will include a clear and unambiguous Iranian recognition of Israel's right to exist.
Hat tip: The Lid.
Dear BiBi - Most Americans are horrified at Obama's treatment of you and Israel. Please accept our apologies. You are a million times the man and leader that Obama is.
ReplyDeleteDon't ever give in to what Obama wants or says - he is a pathological liar. He has lied to Americans from the beginning. He is not to be trusted.
God Bless you Sir.
Dear Bibi-
ReplyDelete"But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen. The descendants of Abraham My Friend. (Isiah 41:8)
I pray for the safety of God's nation on earth every day. We appear to be entering a period of world dynamics where your only option will be to have the whole nation once again humble themselves and call upon the God of your fathers to protect you like He did so gloriously in the past.
