Netanyahu admits difficulty influencing Trump decisions on Iran, sources say

By Rami Ayyub

JERUSALEM, May 25 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told confidants in private conversations that Israel has little ability to influence Donald Trump’s decision-making on Iran as the U.S. president negotiates a deal in the nearly three-month-old war, two sources said.

Netanyahu’s comments, described to Reuters by two Israeli officials with knowledge of the conversations, come as Israel has largely been left out of talks to reach an initial deal to halt a war that began with joint U.S.-Israeli bombardment.
