Netanyahu: Palestinians Continuing to Create Artificial Crises
(Prime Minister's Office) At a meeting with Secretary of State Kerry in Jerusalem on Wednesday, Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "I believe that it's possible with intense pressure because of the sanctions regime led in large part by the United States to get Iran to fully dismantle its nuclear weapons program, and that's really what we're seeking. A full, peaceful, complete dismantling of Iran's nuclear weapons capability, end of all enrichment, end of all centrifuges, end of the plutonium reactor. If this is achieved, I'd welcome it." "I'd be very worried with any partial deals that enable Iran to maintain those capabilities but begin to reduce sanctions because I think this could undermine the longevity and durability of the sanctions regime." "Israel wants peace with the Palestinians....We abide scrupulously by the terms of the agreement and the understandings with which we launched the negotiations. I'm concerned about their progress because I see the Palestinians continuing with incitement, continuing to create artificial crises, continue to avoid, run away from the historic decisions that are needed to make a genuine peace." "I hope that your visit will help steer them back to a place where we could achieve the historical peace that we seek and that our people need."
