Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to deliver a public statement tonight, according to a single report circulated by an Israeli the source. The statement is framed by the source as taking place ahead of the signing of an agreement between the United States and Iran.
The development follows days of intense diplomatic activity and reports that the US-Iran deal is nearing finalization. As The Zioneer previously reported (Sunday 20:28 Jerusalem), Netanyahu was bracing for what commentators described as the toughest conversation of his career with President Trump, amid reports that the diplomatic endgame was accelerating with Israel largely sidelined. A subsequent report (Monday 16:05 Jerusalem) noted that Netanyahu had remained silent for 15 hours after Trump's claim that a deal was imminent.
The content of this evening's statement has not been disclosed, and it is unclear whether the Prime Minister will confirm, oppose, or comment on the reported deal. The single-source nature of the report means details remain unconfirmed at this stage.
