Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Zionist entity ‘utterly rejects’ a deal over Iran nuclear program, describing such agreement as ‘very bad’, and noting that the Islamic Republic was getting the ‘deal of the century’.
"This is a very bad deal. Israel utterly rejects it," he told reporters at Ben Gurion airport before beginning talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry, adding that Iran was getting "the deal of the century."Israel has been enraged by news emerging from Geneva where the so-called P5+1 group of Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States plus Germany are meeting with Iranian officials for the latest round of talks over its nuclear program.
Officials have said a long-awaited deal on curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions may be finally within reach.
"I understand that the Iranians are walking around very satisfied in Geneva, as well they should be because they got everything and paid nothing," Netanyahu said, speaking as if a deal had already been done.
"They wanted relief of sanctions after years of a grueling sanctions regime, they got that, they are paying nothing because they are not reducing in any way their nuclear enrichment capability," he said.
"So Iran got the deal of the century and the international community got a bad deal, this is a very bad deal. Israel utterly rejects it," he said, stressing that the Zionist entity would not see itself as bound by any such agreement.
"Israel is not obliged by this agreement and Israel will do everything it needs to do defend itself and the security of its people."
