Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly being sidelined by US President Donald Trump in crucial discussions concerning Iran, as reported by The New York Times. Citing unnamed Israeli defense officials, the report indicates that Israel has been excluded from key negotiations between the US and Iran, leading Israeli officials to seek information through alternative diplomatic channels and intelligence sources. This development follows an Axios report detailing Netanyahu's alarm following a phone call with Trump, during which they discussed a 'letter of intent' aimed at ending hostilities and initiating a month-long negotiation period. The negotiations are expected to address significant issues, including Iran's nuclear program and the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Tensions between Trump and Netanyahu are apparent, with Trump asserting that Netanyahu will 'do whatever I want him to do,' reflecting a notable power dynamic. Trump emphasized the precarious nature of the negotiations, stating they are 'right on the borderline' between war and peace, and warned that if the right outcomes are not achieved, conflict could escalate rapidly. He indicated that he would allow Iran 'a few days' for discussions.
