Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu urged "you, in the policy community, to help decision makers in the capitals of Europe and Capitol Hill, to take advantage of" an opportunity created by United States President Donald Trump "to fix the great flaws" of the 2015 deal between the international community and Iran on the Islamic Republic's nuclear development program.
In a video message to the Saban Forum on Middle East policy at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, Netanyahu said, "My friends, one day the Iranian regime will fall. Iranian mothers and fathers will rejoice in the street. Israel will be first in line to restore relations and rebuild our great partnership." Expressing a number of reasons he's hopeful, the prime minister concluded, "But that requires confronting the challenges as we seize the opportunities. We'll do both."
