"Israel has many friends and allies," said Netanyahu, "but when they're mistaken, it's my duty to speak out. ... What was achieved last night (Nov. 24) in Geneva is not a historic agreement; it was a historic mistake. Today the world has become a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world took a significant step toward obtaining the world's most dangerous weapon."
