Speaking alongside President Macron, Prime Minister Yair Lapid contended that “Iran is violating the [nuclear] agreement and continues to develop its nuclear program. Iran is hiding information from the world, it is enriching uranium beyond the level it is allowed to, and it has removed cameras from its nuclear sites. Given all this, the world must respond”. He further underlined the need for “a new deal with Iran… that is more efficient and better defined, a deal with no expiration date, a deal with coordinated international pressure that would prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear threshold state”. “The current situation cannot continue as it is”, he emphasised. “It will lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, which would threaten world peace”.
