JERUSALEM, 24 November 2021, (TON): Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said “Israel will not be bound by any new nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.”

Bennett said in statements at the Reichman University in Herzliya “the mistake we made after the first nuclear deal in 2015 will not repeat itself.”

He said “from the moment the deal was signed, it was like a sleeping pill for us.”

He added that even if the deal will be revived, Israel will not be bound by it.

The Israeli premier pledged that Tel Aviv will maintain freedom of action, stressing that Israel must utilize its advantages, including its economy, cyber prowess, democracy, and international legitimacy against Iran's weaknesses.

Bennett said “if the world turns a blind eye to the negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program, Israel does not intend to do so.”

"We face complicated times. It is possible that there will be disagreements with the best of our friends," he said, adding that this would not be the first time.

The nuclear deal was signed in 2015 by Iran, the US, China, Russia, France, the UK, Germany, and the EU.
