Israel said to fear US moving fast toward ‘bad deal’ that won’t block Iran from nukes
Israel is deeply concerned that the US is closing in on a “bad deal” with Iran that will not meet Jerusalem’s stated essential conditions for ensuring the regime cannot attain nuclear weapons, a report said Thursday.
Channel 12 news reported that Israel believes the negotiations ordered by President Donald Trump with Iran, led by US special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, are “very, very advanced,” and that the US is not sharing enough information with Israel on key specific issues. This, despite an ostensibly deep ongoing dialogue between Witkoff and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer.
It said that during their telephone conversation on Tuesday, Netanyahu told Trump that he “does not rule out a diplomatic approach” but only on condition that the resulting deal would “leave no trace” of Iran’s nuclear program.
