Lapid: We have no problem with a good Iran deal

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid told The New York Times in an interview that Israel would have no problem if the United States entered a strong nuclear deal with Iran that would permanently limit its ability to assemble a nuclear weapon.

“We have no problem with a deal. A good deal is a good thing,” Lapid said, adding that the “second best would be no deal but tightening the sanctions and making sure Iran cannot go forward. And the third and worst is a bad deal.”
