PM Netanyahu: Iran Agreement a ‘Historic Mistake’

My Comment: Pray for Israel. May God forgive us for our part in this.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu opened Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting by mounting a sharp attack on the agreement reached Saturday night between Iran and Western powers over the nuclear issue.

Netanyahu stated, “For the first time, the world’s leading powers have agreed to uranium enrichment in Iran while ignoring the UN Security Council decisions that they themselves led. Sanctions that required many years to put in place contain the best chance for a peaceful solution. These sanctions have been given up in exchange for cosmetic Iranian concessions that can be cancelled in weeks.”

“Implications of this agreement threaten many countries – including, of course, Israel. Israel is not bound by this agreement,” Netanyahu affirmed. “What we achieved last night in Geneva is not a historic agreement; it is a historic mistake.”

He continued, “Today the world has become a more dangerous place, because the most dangerous regime in the world took another step towards achieving the most dangerous weapon in the world.”

Netanyahu’s remarks follow statements of satisfaction from US Secretary of State John Kerry, who claims that the deal is “safer for Israel.” The move also elicited praise from Regime leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who claims that the deal – which lifts economic sanctions in exchange for a reduction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities – was achieved “through the prayers of the Iranian people.”
