OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the international community should not fall into the trap of renewed nuclear talks with Iran.
Netanyahu said Friday that Iran could try to evade pressure by entering talks. He said after a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper that Iran could pursue and exploit the talks, as it has done in the past.
Netanyahu says Israel has the right to defend itself against Iran, which he says calls and works for Israel's destruction.
Netanyahu will meet with President Barack Obama on Monday, and Iran will be a major concern.
Obama warned Israel in an interview with The Atlantic magazine published Friday that a premature attack on Iran would do more harm than good.
