Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Monday that the Trump administration gives him daily briefings on the US\u2011Iran negotiations. \u201cI spoke yesterday with Vice President J.D. Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations,\u201d Netanyahu said. He also claimed that the talks collapsed because the US \u201ccould not tolerate Iran’s blatant violation of the agreement\u201d to cease firing and immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
US Lawmakers and Commentators React<\/p>\n
The remarks triggered a backlash in Washington. Democratic Congressman Mark Pocan wrote on X: \u201cThe Trump administration daily reports to Netanyahu on the Iranian war, but not Congress or the American people. Let that sink in.\u201d Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, who resigned over the Iran war, warned that negotiations would fail if the Trump administration continues \u201cgiving them access to our decision making.\u201d Conservative commentator Candace Owens said Netanyahu \u201cenjoys publicly humiliating Donald Trump and JD Vance.\u201d The White House did not immediately respond to Netanyahu\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n
Failed Talks and Regional Context<\/p>\n
Pakistan mediated a temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran last week, but follow\u2011up negotiations in Islamabad failed to produce a lasting agreement. Lebanon and Israel have also agreed to hold talks, with their first meeting scheduled in Washington on Tuesday. T\u00fcrkiye, which has consistently supported de\u2011escalation and diplomatic engagement, continues to coordinate with regional partners to help stabilise the situation. The controversy over US\u2011Israeli coordination raises further questions about the transparency of American diplomacy in the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Monday that the Trump administration gives him daily briefings…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27368,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16469],"tags":[18598,244,34,243,168,13531,5670,107],"class_list":{"0":"post-27367","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-benjamin-netanyahu","8":"tag-backlash","9":"tag-benjamin-netanyahu","10":"tag-iran","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-jd-vance","13":"tag-netanyahu","14":"tag-talks","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116405887443485749","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
