MK Tzipi Livni (Zionist Union) has responded to US President Barack Obama's comments to the BBC.
"The day the agreement was signed, I said that the clear and immediate danger is strengthening Iran's terror system," said MK Livni. "The fact that the president of the United States now acknowledges and is aware that Iran will continue to meddle in terrorism despite the agreement and that the agreement was only intended to deal with the nuclear program, forces the world to take the next step and act against Iran's terrorism."
Livni added, "Israel must now demand from the US, without connection to whether or not the deal passes, security and operational steps to reduce the deal's damage and to allow us to act against the immediate results in the region. This is a legitimate demand and necessary to Israel's safety."
