Defence Minister Benny Gantz asserted “we are in a race against time” with regards to Iran’s nuclear program, and described the characteristics of a good deal as one “that doesn’t have an expiration date that gives Iran legitimacy to advance its nuclear program when it ends, with extensive monitoring everywhere at any time and monitoring the ballistic missiles Iran is developing”. Gantz also called for a Plan B in the event there was no agreement, saying “use force, use economic pressure, use diplomatic pressure”.
