Israel preparing for collapse of US-Iran agreement, report says
Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that officials in Israel believe the agreement between the United States and Iran is unlikely to endure, despite not having full access to its contents.
According to the report, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has instructed the security establishment and the Israeli military to continue developing potential targets and preparing for future scenarios.
Israeli Minister Zeev Elkin said Israel was not directly involved in the negotiations and therefore could not insist on reviewing the memorandum of understanding.
"We are not a party to the negotiations with Iran and we cannot demand to see the memorandum of understanding if it is not binding on us," he said.
Elkin also said that attempts had been made to secure Israel's approval for a withdrawal from Lebanon, but that Netanyahu had refused.
