Netanyahu has once again called for a “better deal”
insisting that the only way to reach it would be “standing
firm and increasing the pressure on Iran.”
Netanyahu warned that if the final deal due to be signed in June, fell in line with the current framework, it would “increase the risks of nuclear proliferation in the region and the risks of a horrific war.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu: Such a deal would not block Iran's
path to the bomb. It would pave it.

Successful negotiations and a sealed deal would
“legitimize” Iran’s nuclear program, which Netanyahu
insists is militarized and designed to increase aggression and
bring more terror throughout the Middle East.

capabilities and stop its terrorism and aggression. #IranTalkspic.twitter.com/um3htQJPTA

Barack Obama called Netanyahu on Thursday evening to discuss the
agreement reached with Iran following eight-day talks in
Switzerland and convince him that the deal represents significant
progress toward cutting off “all of Iran's pathways to a
nuclear weapon.”
However, Obama reassured Netanyahu that the progress does not diminish concerns about “Iran's sponsorship of terrorism and threats towards Israel,” the White House said in a statement.
