Arab affairs commentator Suleiman Maswadeh reported that President Trump said Prime Minister Netanyahu supported the emerging Iran deal, while VP Vance stated Israel committed not to strike Beirut to avoid harming negotiations. Israeli officials have not yet responded. The claims come amid a flurry of reports of a nearing US-Iran framework.
Channel 12's Arab affairs commentator Suleiman Maswadeh reported in the early hours of Monday that President Donald Trump told his circle that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the emerging US-Iran agreement. Separately, Maswadeh quoted US Vice President JD Vance as saying Israel committed not to fire on Beirut so as not to disrupt the negotiations. The report, amplified by Israeli news aggregators, comes amid a sustained surge of claims and counter-claims about a nearing US-Iran memorandum of understanding that would include a ceasefire in Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported at 00:36, a deal framework was described by multiple sources as nearing finalization. Earlier, at 00:05, the semi-official Iranian Tasnim agency indicated Iranian officials would address the MoU reports imminently. Israeli officials have not yet responded to the latest claims about Netanyahu's and the IDF's alleged commitments. The Iranian state media are celebrating what they describe as the end of the war and a ceasefire in Lebanon, the batch shows. The exact terms of any agreement remain unverified by an independent source, and Israeli security sources have not confirmed the reported commitment to avoid striking Beirut.
