"Iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said before a meeting in Jerusalem. "Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region and in the world. This is a bad mistake of historic proportions."
On Twitter, he added that Israel remained determined to stop Iran from developing a nuclear arsenal.
"We knew that the will to sign an agreement is stronger than anything and that's why we never committed ourselves to stopping it," he said in Hebrew. "We did commit ourselves to stop Iran from arming itself with nuclear weapons and that commitment still holds on."
Netanyahu contends that Iran cannot be trusted with any sort of nuclear program, and says Tehran must be made to stop supporting militancy throughout the region.
In March, he delivered a scathing speech to the U.S. Congress in an attempt to derail the process.
Speaking to the Knesset on Monday, Netanyahu referred to huge marches held in Iran to celebrate Al-Quds day, a holiday in support of Palestinians, on July 10.
"As Iran continued to receive more and more concessions at the negotiating table, Iranian President [Hassan] Rouhani led a march of hatred in the streets of Tehran in which the masses cried, 'Death to America! Death to Israel!'" he said.
