Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said that he strongly opposes the current nuclear deal the U.S. is negotiating with Iran and urged leaders to push for a different deal.
“The alternative to this bad deal is a much better deal,” he said in his speech to Congress.
He laid out a few specifics on limiting Iran’s nuclear capabilities and said that a better deal would stay in place “until Iran’s aggression ends.”
Netanyahu added that Israel needs a deal “with which we could live, literally.”
The Prime Minister urged leaders to push for a different deal, channeling poet Robert Frost to say that the “difficult path is usually the one less traveled.”
He then concluded his speech by acknowledging that the U.S. always stands with Israel to applause from the crowd in Congress.
