Summary
Thursday’s call saw Donald Trump tell Benjamin Netanyahu that a pending US-Iran agreement was “the deal” and that it was time to end the war, according to Axios.
Netanyahu raised concerns that any agreement must address Iran’s nuclear program, but a senior US official said he avoided a major clash and appeared to recognize the deal was close.
Israeli officials are privately worried about the terms and about possible limits on operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, even as they avoid public criticism of the emerging accord.
Washington says Iranian support for Hezbollah or Hezbollah fire on Israel would violate the deal, and argues Israel will be more comfortable once it sees full terms and Iran delivers first.
