Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Friday that his position is absolute and clear: as long as he serves as Israel’s prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons. His remarks come against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations involving Iran and the United States.
Netanyahu emphasized that he and President Donald Trump are in complete agreement on the issue, adding that he’s been at the forefront of the international fight against Iran’s nuclear program for more than three decades. Without this fight, he said, Iran would have long ago had atomic bombs to destroy the State of Israel.
The prime minister reiterated that Iran is actively working to destroy the Jewish state, and he’s dedicating his life to preventing them from doing so. He concluded with an unequivocal message: “As long as I am prime minister of Israel, this will not happen.”
