Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded his five-days visit to the United States, where the Israeli leader has once again championed calls to limit the threats emanating from the Islamic Republic of Iran. During his trip, Netanyahu time and again called on the international community to amend the nuclear agreement that sought to limit Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for crippling sanctions relief, warning that unless the accord is fixed, it would pave the way for the Islamic Republic to attain nuclear weapon capabilities. “You Either fully fixed this deal or you fully nix it because right now it’s a highway with international approval for Iran to get to massive unlimited enrichment within a few years because what the deal says is that the constraints the limitations on Iran’s nuclear program our automatically removed by change of date I argued before the US Congress that those constraints should be lifted only by change of behavior and Iran since the deal has been signed has been like a tiger Unleashed from its cage the deal emboldened it enriched it and instead of joining the community of nations they’re just devouring the nations one after the other,” Netanyahu said.
With regard to the anticipated relocation of the United States Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and the recognition of the latter as the capital of the Jewish State, Prime Minister Netanyahu noted that while he urged “every president” to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, the only one who followed through on his promise is President Donald Trump. “I spoke to every president and urged every president to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, the difference is you know they all said they do it. He did it. He did ask me at one time what did I think, I mean, whether there would be outbreaks of violence and massive you know a massive collapse. And I said Look. I can’t tell you with is 100 percent certainty, but that’s not what I’m saying, and I don’t think it’s going to happen but if it does we’re willing to shoulder the risk and it didn’t happen,” Netanyahu said.
