Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday continued to voice displeasure with the agreement to halt Iran’s nuclear program.
Expressing his opposition on his Twitter feed, Netanyahu said while the negotiations between six world powers and Iran “led to a better result than originally planned,” it is “still a bad deal.”
I would be happy if I could join those voices around the world that are praising the Geneva agreement. 1/3

True, the intl pressure we applied was partly successful and led to a better result than originally planned but this is still a bad deal 2/3

The agreement reduces the pressure on Iran w/o receiving anything tangible in return & the Iranians themselves say this deal saved them. 3/3
