Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a stunning admission at a Cabinet meeting recently. He told his ministers that the Donald Trump administration gives him daily updates on the ongoing war with Iran, including the latest developments in ceasefire negotiations. The statement was not a leak or a rumor. Netanyahu said it himself, openly, in front of cameras.
The context behind the admission was a phone call Netanyahu said he received from Vice President JD Vance. Vance had called Netanyahu from his plane on the way back from Islamabad, where 21 hours of talks with Iran had ended without a deal. Netanyahu told his Cabinet that Vance had briefed him on why the negotiations collapsed, saying Iran had refused to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as it had agreed to do before talks began.
