Netanyahu slams Iran nuclear deal on Holocaust day
Netanyahu's warns "closest friends" that Iran nuclear deal will "not obligate us."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heavily criticized the Iran nuclear deal during a speech on the Holocaust on Wednesday. His remarks could be a message to the United States as it attempts to reenter the agreement.
Netanyahu spoke at an event for Yom HaShoah, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Netanyahu characterized an Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons as an “existential threat” to Israel that his country would fight.
“I say to our closest friends, too: ‘A deal with Iran that paves Iran’s path to a nuclear weapon, a weapon that threatens us with annihilation, will not obligate us,’” he said. “Only one thing will obligate us: to prevent those who wish to destroy us from carrying out their plans.”
