Netanyahu ''Israel will do everything it can to halt Iran nuclear deal''; Iran FM: Israel using nuclear 'threat' to hide its atrocities against Palestinians; also says 'not the end of the world' if no deal reached. Credit: BR Pool, Reuters . www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/1.641375 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that "world powers and Iran are galloping toward an agreement that will allow Iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons that will endanger the existence of the state of Israel," adding that he would do everything in his power to foil such an accord before the March 31 deadline. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif said Sunday that Israel cannot hide atrocities against Palestinians and others using an excuse of a hypothetical Iranian threat. Speaking in Munich, Zarif also said he doesn't believe another extension is in anybody's interest: "This is the opportunity to do it, and we need to seize this opportunity," he said. "It may not be repeated." Nevertheless, he added, it would not be the end of the world if an agreement was not reached.
