Netanyahu to Make a Public Statement on the Iran Deal

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called a meeting of the Security Cabinet in Jerusalem on Friday, to plan what Israel’s response to the framework deal on Iran’s nuclear program reached on Thursday will be.

At 1 p.m. after the meeting concludes, the prime minister is to address the media and make an official statement on the deal.

It is anticipated that his statement will consist of a sharp condemnation of the agreement and the dangers it presents, and in it he may also outline Israel’s plan of action moving forward.

Israeli security experts have estimated that the Jewish state is unlikely to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities at the present, given that such a move would be seen negatively in the international community given the new deal.

Instead, they predicted Israel will work to unveil Iran’s breaches of the deal, and at such a juncture would then have a stronger footing to launch a strike if needed.

Ahead of Netanyahu’s comments on Friday, government spokesman Mark Regev said Iran’s “single goal” in the deal is to achieve a nuclear weapon, and the agreement allows it to accomplish that goal.

“Not only does it (the deal) leave Iran with an expensive nuclear infrastructure but it fails to shut down even a single Iranian nuclear installation. It leaves Iran with thousands of centrifuges to continue to enrich uranium,” Regev said. “It allows Iran to conduct research and development to build new and better centrifuges.”

Netanyahu warned on Thursday night that the agreement threatens Israel’s existence, giving legitimacy to Iran’s nuclear program while restoring its economy and allowing it to continue enriching uranium.

Israeli officials from various ends of the political spectrum have likewise called the deal an “historic mistake,” adding that “all options are on the table.”
