Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday he would not be bound by a “bad agreement” on Iran, which would allow Hassan Rouhani’s regime to produce the necessary fissile material for a nuclear weapon.
Mr Netanyahu referred to the proposed deal being discussed by the P5+1 group - namely, the United States, Russia, China, the UK, France and Germany - as “bad and dangerous” during a joint press conference with French President François Hollande in Jerusalem.
The Prime Minister told Mr Hollande, who is currently marking his first visit to Israel as head of State, that “Iran’s dream deal is the world’s nightmare” and that the only option is to dismantle all of the Tehran’s nuclear capabilities.
Meanwhile, Mr Hollande reiterated France’s firm stance on Iran, saying he wanted “a serious, significant agreement that will give results”.
