Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein said on Tuesday that Trump's cancellation of the nuclear deal is further proof that "the Iranians have never abandoned their plan to acquire weapons of mass destruction".

"Now, all the parties to the agreement must understand this and immediately withdraw. I also welcome the imposition of severe sanctions, because only they will lead to a crushing blow and the strangulation of the nuclear program and the Iranian regime," said Edelstein.
