Netanyahu Concedes Loss on Iran, Urges Vigilance on Nuclear Deal

And when he recalled Israel’s warnings of the potential threat from Iran he showed his grasp for the dramatic moment.

He said that Iran had delivered SA-22 and Yakhount missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon in order to target Israel.

Responding to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ declaration the night before that there is no point in peace talks just for the sake of peace talks, Netanyahu demanded a new round of peace talks for the sake of peace talks.

The WJC and Lauder have also remained on the forefront of those organizations calling for world leaders not to remain silent in the face of radical Islam, and to intercede on behalf of migrants from civil war-torn Syria.

His remarks come with Netanyahu scheduled to speak with Obama at the White House in November – their first meeting after a deep row about the Iranian nuclear deal.

Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel remains committed to peace with the Palestinians, and he would be willing resume peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority without preconditions, criticizing Abbas’ announcement one day earlier, which the Israel prime minister called “deceitful”.

Echoing worldwide criticism of Israel over its operations in Gaza, Mr Netanyahu argued that the United Nations has displayed “disproportionality” and “injustice” in its treatment of the Jewish state.

He went on saying that “Israel made the American initiative failing in spite of the attempts of the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerrey because Israel refused to release the fourth group of prisoners that was agreed upon”.

“There won’t be any peace deal that is not based on the Oslo Accords and not negotiated between Israelis and Palestinians”. The pacts formed the basis for governing much of daily life in the occupied West Bank, where the Palestinian Authority (PA) is based.

“When bad behaviour is rewarded it only gets worse”, he added, although he acknowledged the deal places “several constraints on Iran’s nuclear program and rightly so”.

The 1993 agreement laid the basis of co-operation between Israelis and Palestinians with the ultimate goal of reaching a two-state solution.

Netanyahu, affectionately known to his fellow Israelis as Bibi, addressed diplomats on the controversial nuclear de-escalation deal recently signed by Iran and six world powers – the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany.
