Netanyahu Reacts to Iran Deal: ‘Would Threaten the Survival of Israel’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with President Obama today about the Iran deal announced today, and he’s not exactly happy about it.
Netanyahu’s spokesman tweeted out the message he conveyed to Obama about the deal and what kind of threat it could pose to Israel’s security:
PM Netanyahu to Pres Obama: A deal based on this framework would threaten the survival of Israel. #IranTalks

PM Netanyahu: This deal would legitimize Iran's nuclear program, bolster Iran's economy & increase Iran's aggression & terror #IranTalks

PM Netanyahu: Such a deal would not block Iran's path to the bomb. It would pave it. #IranTalks

PM Netanyahu: It would increase the risks of nuclear proliferation and the risks of a horrific war. #IranTalks

Netanyahu himself has not tweeted since the deal was announced, but he did send this out hours beforehand:
Any deal must significantly roll back Iran’s nuclear capabilities and stop its terrorism and aggression. #IranTalks pic.twitter.com/BOQ7YcHxyn
