“Israel is not against any agreement. We are against this agreement because it is a bad one. Because it cannot be accepted as it is written right now”

Israel’s Prime Minister, Yair Lapid has warned the West against the proposed new deal with Iran, accusing the Tehran of manipulating the talks and warning that the “unacceptable” deal would give $100 billion a year to spread terror.

“The countries of the West draw a red line, the Iranians ignore it, and the red line moves,” Lapid told the press in Jerusalem tis week. An emerging deal, Lapid said, “does not meet the standards set by President Biden himself: preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear state.”

Calling it a “bad deal,” he said it will give Tehran $100 billion per year to “spread terror around the globe.”

“Israel is not against any agreement. We are against this agreement because it is a bad one. Because it cannot be accepted as it is written right now,” Lapid continued.

“On the table right now is a bad deal. It would give Iran a hundred billion dollars a year. This money will not build schools or hospitals. This is a hundred billion dollars a year that will be used to undermine stability in the Middle East and spread terror around the globe.

“This money will fund the Revolutionary Guards. It will fund the Basij who oppress the Iranian people. It will fund more attacks on American bases in the Middle East. It will be used to strengthen Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad,” he says.

“I appreciate their willingness to listen and work together: the United States is and will remain our closest ally, and President Biden is one of the best friends Israel has ever known,” he says.

Lapid reiterates that “if a deal is signed, it does not obligate Israel. We will act to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state.”
