Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reminded the world powers it was not "too late" to retract a nuke deal that would give Tehran nuclear arms.

While speaking at a ceremony marking Israel's capture of Arab east Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War, Netanyahu said that Israel was not the only nation that opposed the nuclear agreement and added that a better deal was "necessary and possible," reported News24.

The P5 + 1 nations including the United States, Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany, are engaged in intense negotiations with Iran to chalk out a final deal by June 30 that would curb Iran's nuclear ambitions in lieu of phased relief from economic sanctions.

Israel, however, has maintained that Iran cannot be trusted to honour the deal, which is anyway full of loopholes.
