Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with a visiting Friends of the Israel Defense Forces delegation and said:

"Iran seeks to destroy the State of Israel and builds atomic bombs for that purpose. I want to reiterate Israel's position. We think that Iran must not have the capacity to make atomic bombs. Iran today has thousands of centrifuges, thousands of kilograms of enriched uranium to make a bomb. A bad deal would let them keep those capacities. It's better to have no deal than a bad deal."
