Israel against \'bad agreement\' between world powers, Iran

The Israeli prime minister on Sunday vowed to "convince the world powers to avoid a bad agreement" with Iran, one day after the two sides concluded three days' intensive nuclear talks. According to an official statement, Benjamin Netanyahu told the world leaders on the weekend that a potential deal with Iran is " bad and dangerous" not only for Israelis but also for the world peace. The Israeli prime minister urged the P5+1 group -- the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany -- to "wait and weigh the matter," the statement said. "There's a strong urge to reach an agreement. I hope it won't be an agreement at any price, and if there's an agreement we need a good one, not a bad one," he said. On Friday, just before U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry left Israel for the talks in Geneva, Netanyahu expressed his concern about the meeting. "Iran gets everything they wanted, but it pays nothing." On a related note, the Ha'aretz daily reported Sunday that a U. S. delegation are on their way to Jerusalem to brief Netanyahu on the efforts made in the Geneva talks, where the negotiators agreed to meet again on Nov. 20. Iran's nuclear program is suspected by the West of being aiming at producing weapons, while Tehran denies the accusation and says the program is only pursuing peaceful use of the nuclear energy.
