JERUSALEM (AP) — In his sharpest criticism yet, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says world powers “have given up” on stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons in ongoing negotiations.
Netanyahu made the comments Wednesday night at a meeting of his Likud Party outside of Jerusalem. They come as Netanyahu plans to address the U.S. Congress on the nuclear negotiations.
The West fears Iran could build an atomic bomb with its nuclear program. Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes.
Netanyahu said: “From the agreement that is forming it appears that they (world powers) have given up on that commitment and are accepting that Iran will gradually, within a few years, develop capabilities to produce material for many nuclear weapons. They might accept this but I am not willing to accept this.”

…Not to mention your own Israeli intelligence which told you Iran has stopped uranium enrichment for bomb making. So world leaders, unlike you, see no need for a war that is unnecessary. It is called sound judgment.
Isn’t this the same guy that said, “… no question whatsoever” that Saddam was advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons in 2002 – so now I’m suppose to believe him – that Iran is advancing towards the developing a Wile E. Coyote nuclear Acme bomb??? No sale.
Guess this guy really wants to go out with a bang.
Israeles have a unique way of dealing with war mongers and peace activists depending on the situation and who is involved. History has proven, they disappear.
This man will say ANYTHING to retain power. Toss him out, Israelis, please!!
Next thing you know Netanyahu will be going to war with everyone who won’t do his dirty work for him. How is this helping Israel in any way? How is this rhetoric making Israel stronger? Bibis ego is going to do more damage than any Iran threat is doing. Better rein him in, Israelis.
