Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the Trump administration reports to him every day about the ongoing war in Iran.

In a meeting with Israel’s Cabinet ministers, Netanyahu said, “I spoke yesterday with Vice President JD Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations. In this case, the explosion in the negotiations.”

Netanyahu went on to claim that the U.S. broke off the negotiations because Iran didn’t immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz and wouldn’t commit to getting rid of all of its enriched uranium.

    How is this news? They are in the same war together on the same side. I would be more shocked if they didn’t communicate with each other regularly.

      Heads of state don’t usually do the military updates themselves, and if so not with each other. Churchill wasn’t in constant communication with Stalin.

      Right? It isn’t a great revelation that they are in contact over these things. They are clearly working together.

      That’s not to say that old Netty isn’t pulling the strings, just that this does not really say anything we didn’t already know.
