The United States has rejected an official request from the Israeli government to review the memorandum of understanding with Iran, according to Israeli media reports.
Channel 12 reported that “Israel submitted an official request to the United States to review the emerging ‘memorandum of understanding’ between Washington and Tehran, but the Israeli request was rejected by the American side.”
The report suggested that this means “Israel is still unaware of the full details of the agreement, which is expected to be signed next Friday in Switzerland.”
For his part, US President Donald Trump had previously promised to hold a press conference regarding the agreement with Iran, stating that he would “read the document word for word,” but he did not specify a date for the full release of the agreement.
The understanding to end the war between Iran and the United States, scheduled to be signed on Friday, has sparked widespread criticism within Israel, targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has faced accusations of entrenching Israel’s dependence on the United States, his inability to influence the decision, and causing a strategic loss.
The Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot stated that while coordination with Washington is important, the resulting dependency is dangerous and irresponsible.
It added: “Ultimately, due to the negligent management of negotiations by the leader of the world’s most powerful nation, Israel has returned to a reality where its freedom of action is more limited, and its deterrence has been significantly weakened, primarily due to the damage in the relationship between Trump and Netanyahu.”
The newspaper also recalled a war warning issued by Military Intelligence in 2023, which indicated that “Israel’s enemies perceive a weakness in the relationship between the United States and Israel, and therefore may exploit the opportunity for a surprise attack.” It clarified, “At that time, the focus was not on Hamas, but on Iran and Hezbollah, but the underlying message was clear.” Quds Press
