(Times of Israel) Avi Lewis and Marissa Newman - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told visiting U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-Ga.) on Wednesday that Israel is aware of the details of the negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program. While "the Islamic Republic of Iran is relentlessly pursuing nuclear weapons with the express purpose of destroying the State of Israel, the P5+1's latest proposal won't stop them," Netanyahu said. "The Iranians of course know the details of that proposal and Israel does too. So when we say that the current proposal would lead to a bad deal, a dangerous deal, we know what we're talking about." Referring to his upcoming speech to Congress, Netanyahu said he was open to hearing the opinions of those who disagree with his approach, "and I would hope that they would be open to hear the arguments of Israel as well."
