Netanyahu in last call for a better deal in Lausanne

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu issued a call from Jerusalem to the diplomats engaged in winding up a round of nuclear talks in Lausanne Wednesday. “Now is the time” he said, “for the international community to insist on a better nuclear deal, stop Iran’s aggression in the region and its terrorist activities around the world, and relinquish its threat to annihilate Israel.”

Tuesday, Gen. Mohammad Raza Nakdi, commander of the Iranian Basijj popular militia, declared in Tehran that the aspiration to wipe Israel off the map had never been negotiable.
