TL;DR

A senior American official tells Israeli journalist Barak Ravid that the US is in direct dialogue with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and that President Trump spoke with him yesterday. The official expressed confidence that once Israel sees all details of the emerging deal and understands that Iran must deliver before any US action, they will be comfortable with the arrangement, according to a post on N12's the source.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A senior US official commented on the state of US-Israel coordination over the emerging deal with Iran in remarks to Barak Ravid, a veteran Israeli journalist (N12/Walla). The official said the US is in ongoing contact with Prime Minister Netanyahu and that President Trump spoke with him yesterday. The official's assessment was that Israeli concerns would be allayed once the full terms are visible and the sequencing — Iran delivering before the US acts — becomes clear. The remark suggests the administration is working to secure Israeli buy-in as final details of the understanding are being drafted. As The Zioneer reported over recent days, US-Iranian talks have accelerated, with Trump stating on Tuesday that the deal is in an 'almost final stage' and expected to be signed soon. The US has continued its air campaign against Iranian-linked targets while simultaneously pursuing the diplomatic track. What remains unverified: the precise status of the deal's final wording, whether the Qatari-mediated channel has produced a signed text, and whether Netanyahu's office has conveyed formal Israeli approval or reservations.
