President Trump spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu this evening, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office reported by Barak Betesh (i24NEWS). Trump discussed the emerging memorandum of understanding with Iran and committed that the final agreement will include removal of enriched material, dismantling enrichment infrastructure, limiting missile production, and ending support for Iranian proxies. Israel is not a party to the MOU but expressed appreciation for Trump's commitment.
The Prime Minister's Office confirmed at 23:17 Jerusalem that President Donald Trump spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the emerging memorandum of understanding with Iran. Trump laid out specific commitments he says will be included in the final agreement beyond the MOU — removal of enriched uranium, dismantlement of enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and an end to Iran's support for its regional proxies.
This call builds on a rapidly unfolding thread. At 22:38 Jerusalem, Trump had stated that Iran "will never hold nuclear weapons" under the deal and that signing could occur as early as this weekend. At 23:14 — just minutes before the PMO statement — Netanyahu had clarified that Israel is not a party to the MOU despite Trump's commitment, a point repeated in an earlier bulletin at the same time. At 23:16, reports from N13/Army Radio quoted Netanyahu admitting that enriched uranium is not in the MOU, saying Israel supports it anyway — a characterization reporters called "pretty crazy." The current bulletin adds explicit detail on four conditions Trump reportedly pledged, as reported by Barak Betesh (i24NEWS).
As The Zioneer reported at 23:14, the statement follows earlier contacts between the leaders. The thread shows an evolution: initial admissions by Netanyahu that enriched uranium was absent from the MOU were followed by Trump's direct commitment to Israel that the final agreement would include its removal and infrastructure dismantlement. The PMO noted Israel is not a signatory to the memorandum itself but welcomed Trump's assurances.
The conversation comes amid a flurry of reports about a possible near-term signing. Trump had said previously that the deal could be finalized this weekend. The scope and timeline of any final agreement remain unconfirmed by independent sources. It remains unclear how Iran's leadership will respond to dismantlement conditions or whether the MOU's current terms align with those conditions.
