JNS.org – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday held a series of interviews with European media outlets with the aim of convincing EU countries not to lift Iran sanctions.

From his office in Jerusalem, Netanyahu spoke to leading media outlets including France’s Le Monde, the British Financial Times, Germany’s ARD, French television channelTV24 and Britain’s Sky News.

“No deal is better than a bad deal, and a bad deal would be a partial agreement which lifts sanctions off Iran and leaves them with the ability to enrich uranium or to continue work on their heavy water plutonium, which is what is needed to produce nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu told The Financial Times.

“Don’t give up now, finish the job, let it take effect,” Netanyahu said. “Don’t give up now, and don’t say later that I didn’t warn you.”
