Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, who will head the caretaker government this week, is under pressure from the army and the Mossad leadership regarding the official position on US efforts to reach a new international nuclear agreement with Iran, according to political sources in Tel Aviv.
The army wanted a change in position as most military leaders supported a return to the nuclear deal, while the Mossad urged him to maintain his current stance and be more stringent.
