Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid out Israel’s terms Sunday for the implementation of the second phase of the Trump administration’s Gaza plan and set out conditions for Jerusalem’s acceptance of a possible nuclear deal between the US and Iran.
President Donald Trump, Netanyahu said, “is determined to exhaust the possibilities of achieving a deal,” while the Israeli premier said he was skeptical that a positive agreement can be reached.
Netanyahu added that along with strong measures to verify Iranian compliance, any nuclear deal must include the removal of all enriched uranium from Iran along with not having capability to enrich in the future.
Iran must also abandon its development and production of long and medium-range ballistic missiles, Netanyahu said. He emphasized that Israel will not accept a partial disarmament of Hamas either.
Netanyahu’s conditions regarding Iran are absolute. Even a minimal concession that permits Iran to possess any degree of enrichment or weaponry merely enables them to sustain their malicious objective of annihilating Israel.
