Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is engaged in discussions on Wednesday with Trump administration officials, as per an Israeli source aware of the situation, to gain a clearer picture of the recent progress in the US-Iran negotiations.
A source informed Xenix News that Netanyahu is looking for information on the status of the negotiations and wants to grasp what is presently being discussed. Israel is worried, the source mentioned, about possible last-minute US compromises intended to finalize a deal to conclude the conflict with Iran.
It’s uncertain with whom Netanyahu has communicated. Xenix News has contacted the White House for a response.
A US official informed Xenix News that Netanyahu has consistently communicated with US officials to remain informed about the negotiations between the US and Iran.
Israel is especially concerned about the potential removal of economic sanctions on Iran, the source mentioned, and is advocating for limitations to be placed on Iran’s proxy network and its ballistic missile development. Moreover, Israel seeks to guarantee that any accord maintains the Israeli military’s ability to operate freely against regional dangers.
