Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this morning that he would like to see a diplomatic deal with Iran, just not one resembling what the U.S. and other countries are considering right now. “I prefer a diplomatic solution, I prefer a peaceful solution,” he said. “Israel has the most to gain from a peaceful diplomatic solution, because we’re on the firing line, any way you look at it.”
Regarding the proposed bargain between Iran and the P5+1 countries on the table now, which requires a freeze in nuclear-enrichment activities, loosens sanctions, and doesn’t affect Iran’s enrichment capacity, Netanyahu said, “I don’t think it’s a good deal. It’s a bad deal — an exceedingly bad deal.
“We need a good solution,” he said, noting that it would have to include reducing Iran’s nuclear capacity.
