        "summary": "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has admitted his inability to sway US President Donald Trump's stance on a potential Iran deal, raising concerns in Tel Aviv over the agreement's implications. The Israeli government remains on high alert, fearing the deal could ease economic sanctions on Iran while preserving its nuclear infrastructure and regional proxies. Meanwhile, Trump has stated the agreement is 'largely negotiated,' with diplomatic efforts intensifying as key figures in both nations push for its conclusion.",
        "content": "<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged\ndifficulties in influencing US President Donald Trump\u2019s stance on Iran.\nThe admission emerged as reports indicated that a Washington-Tehran\nagreement to end the war is drawing closer. Israeli local media, as\nreported by Anadolu Agency on Monday (25 May 2026), stated that\nNetanyahu\u2019s admission was made during closed-door government discussions\nheld in recent weeks. This revelation comes as US-Iran negotiations\nappear closer to a deal aimed at ending the war. Israeli TV channel\nChannel 13, citing anonymous political sources familiar with the matter,\nreported that Netanyahu expressed concerns during closed-door government\ntalks regarding the emerging US-Iran deal. According to the Israeli\nmedia report, Netanyahu admitted that Tel Aviv currently \u2018has no room to\nmanoeuvre\u2019 to influence Trump\u2019s decisions. The report stated that\nIsrael\u2019s Security Cabinet held meetings late on Sunday (24 May) amid\ngrowing reports of a potential imminent US-Iran agreement. Israeli\nsecurity institutions remain on high alert due to concerns that the deal\ncould provide political cover for Iran, ease economic pressure, and\nleave its nuclear infrastructure and proxies intact. Channel 13 reported\nthat Israel\u2019s diplomatic efforts in Washington are led by former\nStrategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, while the US continues\nnegotiations with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Channel 13\u2019s\nreport, citing Israeli sources, also stated that Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader\nMojtaba Khamenei is \u2018the only figure capable of thwarting the deal\u2019.\nChannel 13 added in its report that figures close to Trump, including US\nMiddle East envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser and son-in-law\nJared Kushner, have urged the US president to advance the deal. Israel\u2019s\nconcerns are growing that diplomatic efforts may result in a deal deemed\ninsufficient by Tel Aviv to prevent Iran from developing nuclear\ncapabilities in the future. On Sunday (24 May), Israeli public\nbroadcaster KAN cited a source familiar with the matter stating that\nNetanyahu spoke to Trump by phone, expressing concerns over delays in\nactions regarding Iran\u2019s nuclear file and linking Lebanon\u2019s ceasefire to\nIran in the ongoing deal. On Saturday (23 May), Trump stated that the\nagreement with Iran to end the war is \u2018largely negotiated\u2019 and awaiting\nfinalisation. The breakthrough followed Pakistani military chief Asim\nMunir\u2019s visit to Tehran \u2013 the second in recent weeks.<\/p>",
