The Associated Press reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite considering a nuclear-armed Iran an existential threat to Israel and warning against any new agreement between Tehran and Washington, has been forced to remain silent on talks between the two countries in order not to jeopardize his close relationship with US President Donald Trump.
The American media outlet explained that Netanyahu and his nationalist supporters had expected the Trump administration to adopt a tougher stance and even considered the possibility of US support for an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. But now that the Trump administration is seeking a new deal with Iran, Netanyahu's public opposition to this key foreign policy initiative could weaken his special relationship with the US president.
The Associated Press emphasized that this situation has put Netanyahu in a difficult position; on the one hand, protecting Israel's security and on the other, considering his relationship with the White House.
