PM: Congress 'The Final Brake' Stopping Iran Nuclear Weapon (7 days until speech)

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has reiterated his resolve to speak before Congress later this month, saying Congress could well be the "final brake" stopping a "bad deal" over Iran's nuclear program, which would allow the Islamic Republic to become a nuclear threshold state.

Netanyahu made the comments during a tour of the IDF's Southern Command headquarters, along with Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Gadi Eizenkot and GOC Southern Command Maj.-Gen. Sammy Turgeman.

"Even after Hamas took the severest blow in its history, we are continuing to monitor its activities and we are prepared for any and all developments," Netanyahu said. "I came here with the Defense Minister in order to be updated by the IDF on our deployment and on our possibilities for future action."

"It must be understood that Hamas, Islamic Jihad and all the other terrorist organizations are acting with the full support of Iran, which has openly declared its intention to destroy the State of Israel," the PM noted.

Netanyahu claimed that in addition to the continual threat of Iranian-sponsored terrorism, all the latest information indicated that world powers were heading towards a deal with Iran which would leave it as a nuclear-capable state.

"To my regret, the information which has reached me in recent days greatly strengthens our concerns regarding the agreement being formulated between the major powers and Iran.

"This agreement, if indeed it is signed, will allow Iran to become a nuclear threshold state. That is, with the consent of the major powers, Iran – which openly declares its intention to destroy the State of Israel – will receive a license to develop the production of bombs.

"This is a bad agreement that endangers our future."

This is an agreement that endangers our future.
My duty as Prime Minister to do everything possible to prevent this, so go to Washington to speak before the U.S. Congress, because Congress may be the last brake before the agreement of Iran and world powers.

I could see an attack on Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah and the PLO on the day Bibi travels to the US.

They could blame it on Bibi’s speech, which caused the war. Obama will gladly side with them.

I can’t wait. I haven’t looked forward to a speech from a political figure in a long time, but for this one, I’m buying champagne.

Since it’s a matter of Israel’s survival, I imagine that they do. This may even be a step in showing Israel that they can’t count on the American government anymore. And of course God will always protect Israel the nation.

The United State’s survival is at risk too. If not from Iran nuclear ICBMs, from God, for turning on Israel.

Yes indeed. The “American Century” is over, and I know that of course God saw this coming-our turning our backs on Israel.
