Israeli Officials Doubt Iran Will Accept U.S. Ceasefire Terms
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - Israeli officials have expressed deep skepticism over the chances that U.S.-Iran negotiations will lead to an agreement to end the war. At the same time, officials said they are not ruling out a diplomatic breakthrough, noting President Trump's unpredictable approach to negotiations. Still, officials said they do not expect Washington to back down on core issues, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear program. Israeli officials said that if Iran were to accept the U.S. terms, Israel would welcome such an agreement, even if it does not lead to the collapse of Iran's leadership. Israel is not linking the war with Iran to ongoing fighting with Hizbullah in Lebanon, officials said, and military operations there are expected to continue regardless of any potential agreement.
