A classified US intelligence assessment has concluded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to take steps that would unravel President Donald Trump's fragile peace deal with Iran, according to reporting first published by the Washington Post.
The assessment, described to the paper by current and former US officials, links Netanyahu's political survival to his refusal to withdraw Israeli troops from Lebanon ahead of national elections in the autumn. It lands days after Trump signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding with Tehran that demands an end to fighting on every front, Lebanon included.
