Israel will not be bound by any future nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, according to Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett.
Addressing the parliament’s Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee on Monday, Bennett said, “it is important for me to say and clarify unequivocally: Israel is not a party to the agreements, Israel is not bound by what will be written in the agreements if they are signed.’’
“Israel will continue to maintain full freedom of action, anywhere and anytime, without restrictions’’ if the agreements were signed, he added.
Bennett expressed Israel’s concern about the talks in Vienna, where negotiators have been trying to restore the 2015 nuclear deal.
As a vocal opponent of the nuclear deal, Israel insisted that Iran has been secretly seeking to obtain nuclear weapons in spite of Iran’s repeated statements that its nuclear programme was peaceful.
