In the meantime, the head of the opposition Benjamin Netanyahu said today at a press conference that he called that the nuclear agreement will enable a tremendous doubling of Iran's ability to produce materials for nuclear weapons.

"The current agreement is several times worse than the previous nuclear agreement," he said.

"The previous agreement was not good because even Obama admitted that the previous agreement would allow Iran to reach a break-in time to zero nuclear weapons in 2028. I was required as prime minister together with my fellow members of the government to take unconventional steps, for example going to the American Congress. I cannot help but penalize the public level that it has Influence on policy, I also went to the UN, we also acted in bringing the secret nuclear archive that revealed to the world that in 2003 Iran planned to produce five atomic bombs of the type that destroyed Hiroshima.

Already 20 years ago.

And all these things helped create public support for actions - as Eisenkot said - without Israel's actions - Iran was already nuclear seven years ago."

Earlier, Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News that "the dangerous nuclear agreement with Iran will allow it to enrich uranium almost indefinitely, 3,500 centrifuges, within four years. The agreement gives it hundreds of billions of dollars for terrorism against Americans and Israelis. The agreement does not require anything from Iran. I spoke with President Biden Many times about the danger in this agreement. When I am elected, and I think there is a good chance of that, I think we must take every step to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons."

In an interview with El Arabiya, Netanyahu added that "the nuclear agreement with Iran will endanger not only Israel, but also threaten the Arab world and the peace of humanity as a whole."

Prime Minister Lapid said today in a briefing to the international media that if a nuclear agreement is signed, it will buy Iran 100 billion dollars a year "to be used to destabilize the Middle East and spread terrorism around the world."

Lapid said that in response to the draft agreement that was forwarded to them, and defined as a final offer, the Iranians raised additional demands.

"And once again the negotiators from Europe and the US are ready to make more and more concessions," he said.

"The Western countries set a red line, the Iranians ignore it, so they move the red line. If the Iranians didn't take it, how come the world didn't leave it?".

Lapid claimed that the money that will be flowed to Iran as part of the lifting of sanctions on them will finance the Revolutionary Guards, will finance more attacks on American bases in the Middle East, will be used to strengthen Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

"This is money for exactly those people who are trying to murder writers and thinkers in New York, and of course it will be used to strengthen the nuclear program," he said.
