Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the Israel Aerospace Industries complex today (Sunday) and asked to send a message to the American government regarding reports about the possibility of reaching a conclusion that bypasses Congress on the Iranian nuclear program.
"We are determined to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Our strong opposition to returning to the original nuclear agreement contributes to the American decision not to do so. We have also made it clear to our American friends that even if the agreements are more limited - they are also unacceptable to us," Netanyahu stated.
He added, "In any case, as I make clear to them, make clear to the world and will also make it clear here again: we will do everything we need to defend ourselves, on our own, against any threat."
As part of the visit, the Prime Minister was presented with the activities of the aerospace industry by Chairman Amir Peretz and CEO Boaz Levy. In addition, Prime Minister Netanyahu toured an exhibition of defensive and offensive ordnance.
The visit was accompanied by National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi and Netanyahu's military secretary Major General Avi Gil.
