(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Netanyahu told Secretary of State Kerry on Wednesday that with regard to Iran's nuclear weapons, "no deal is better than a bad deal." "If Assad had said, 'I am ready to dismantle 90%, 50% or 80% of my chemical weapons capability,' you would have refused and correctly so." Regarding peace talks with the Palestinians, Netanyahu said: "Peace is premised on mutual recognition, of two states for two peoples, of the Palestinian state for the Palestinian people mirrored by the Jewish state for the Jewish people....Equally it must be, as President Obama has said, a peace that Israel can defend by itself, for itself, against any conceivable threat."
