Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed concern over the US administration’s handling of Iran’s nuclear file during a phone call with President Donald Trump, according to Israeli media on Sunday, Anadolu reports.
Netanyahu also voiced worries over a possible linkage of a ceasefire in Lebanon and a potential US-Iran agreement, Israel’s public broadcaster KAN reported, citing an informed Israeli source.
This came after Trump on Saturday said an agreement with Iran to end the war was “largely negotiated” and awaited finalization, following Pakistani army chief Asim Munir’s visit to Tehran, his second in recent weeks.
Netanyahu and the Israeli security establishment believe that “the Iranians are stalling to buy time, and that Tehran will announce its unwillingness to make concession after 60 days,” the source said.
In a related development, the Israeli Security Cabinet is set to convene Sunday evening amid reports of progress in negotiations between Washington and Tehran, KAN added.
