(Israel)—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks upon his return from the US this morning:

"After my short visit to the United States, I return to Israel knowing that many around the world heard what Israel has to say about the impending deal with Iran.

"In my speech before the Congress, I presented a practical alternative, which would impose tougher restrictions on Iran's nuclear program, extending Iran's breakout time by years.

"I also called on the P5+1 to insist on a deal that would link the lifting of those restrictions to Iran's ceasing its sponsorship of terrorism around the world, its aggression against its neighbors and its calls for Israel's destruction.

"I heard encouraging responses from both Democrats and Republicans. They understood that the current proposal would lead to a bad deal and that the alternative is a better deal.

"Happy Purim."
