OTTAWA: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday the international community should not fall into the ''trap'' of renewed nuclear talks with Iran and said the international community should make its demands clear.
In comments after a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Netanyahu said Iran could try to evade pressure by entering talks and pursue and exploit the talks, as it has done in the past.
Netanyahu also will meet with President Barack Obama on Monday, and Iran will be a major concern.
''Right now, Iran is feeling the pressure from the economic sanctions, and it could try to evade that pressure by entering talks,'' Netanyahu said.
''I think the international community should not fall into this trap. I think the demands on Iran should be clear: Dismantle the underground nuclear facility in Qom, stop enrichment inside Iran and get all the enriched material out of Iran. And when I say all the material, I mean all the material.''
Netanyahu said Israel has the right to defend itself against Iran, which he says calls and works for Israel's destruction.
Obama warned Israel in an interview with The Atlantic magazine published on Friday that a premature attack on Iran would do more harm than good.
