JUST IN: Israeli PM Netanyahu says talks with Donald Trump focused on skepticism toward an Iran deal, demanding limits on ‘nukes, missiles, and proxies.’
“I have just concluded a short but important visit in Washington, in a conversation with our great friend, Trump.
The President believes that the Iranians have already learned who they are dealing with.
I believe that the conditions he is creating, combined with the fact that they certainly understand they made a mistake the last time by not reaching an agreement, may create the conditions for achieving a good agreement.
He wanted to hear my opinion. I will not hide from you that I expressed general skepticism regarding the quality of any agreement with Iran.
But I said that if an agreement is indeed reached, it must include the elements that are very important to us, from Israel’s perspective, and in my view, not only Israel’s.
It is not just the nuclear issue; it is also the ballistic missiles and the Iranian proxies.
That essentially concluded the discussion, I would say, although it of course also touched on Gaza, the entire region, and other general matters.”
