Amid widespread condemnation of the US-Iran deal in Israel, Trump says he told Netanyahu that the agreement secures “the most important thing” the Israeli prime minister had been asking for – referring to Iran not having a nuclear weapon.
“I told Bibi: ‘Bibi, your biggest risk was that they’d drop a nuclear weapon into the middle of Israel. They’d only need one, and there’d be no more Israel,” Trump said, using the Israeli leader’s nickname.
“‘Think about it Bibi, you got the best – the most important thing you were asking for … So I think they’re happy.”
He said earlier that he sent a copy of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding to the Israeli government.
