There is conflicting information regarding whether Israel received advance details of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU).
On June 17, Israeli Channel 12 reported, citing U.S. officials, that Washington had been in continuous communication with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office regarding the MOU's specifics.
According to these U.S. officials, while the entire agreement may not have been delivered to Netanyahu in the last day or two, he was aware of the contents being negotiated. They asserted that reports claiming the Israeli government had not received any details about the U.S.-Iran agreement were inaccurate and noted that Netanyahu had never requested to see the full document.
U.S. officials indicated that while Netanyahu was skeptical about the agreement's implementation, he acknowledged that it could yield significant results if executed as planned.
Earlier, CNN reported, citing Israeli officials, that the U.S. had not shown the complete document to Israel after signing the MOU. The report also mentioned concerns about potential leaks from Netanyahu's office prior to the official announcement, which led to a refusal to grant access to the document.
The Israeli Prime Minister's office did not provide an official comment on Channel 12's report.
On the same day, President Donald Trump stated during a press conference following the G7 summit in France that he had provided a copy of the MOU to Israel, although he did not disclose the timing or method of delivery.
The U.S. draft reportedly includes provisions for the resumption of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, diplomatic resolutions to Iran's nuclear issues, and sanctions relief. The manner of addressing Iran's nuclear activities and sanctions relief are key security concerns for Israel.
