Netanyahu arrives home, bucked by response to his speech

Upon landing at Ben-Gurion airport Wednesday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said the was encouraged by responses to his speech that he heard from US lawmakers from both parties. Netanyahu said he presented an alternative to the proposed outline nuclear deal, which the world powers hope to initial before the end of the month, that would impose tougher restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program, extending Iran’s breakout time by years. I also called on the P5+1 to insist on a deal that would link the lifting of restrictions to Iran’s ceasing its sponsorship of terrorism around the world, its aggression against its neighbors and its calls for Israel’s destruction,” Netanyahu said.
