Benjamin Netanyahu says "Iran will not have nuclear weapons" as long as he remains prime minister

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rejected a US-brokered Gaza proposal that Hamas had accepted, widening his public disagreement with President Donald Trump while he campaigns in a close race before the October 27 election. At a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu refused to approve any troop withdrawal unless Hamas genuinely disarms, saying Israel would keep blocking threats. The plan, signed by Hamas in late July, would have paired Israeli pullouts with disarmament. Netanyahu also raised the nuclear issue, saying Tehran must not acquire atomic weapons during his premiership whether or not a deal is reached, and repeating his longstanding accusation that Iran seeks such arms. The friction touches both Gaza policy and American diplomacy with Iran.
