Mars Finance News, on May 25, according to Reuters citing multiple Israeli officials, as the United States leads efforts with Iran to promote a ceasefire and nuclear negotiations, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu privately admitted to confidants that Israel "currently has almost no room to intervene in Trump's decisions," and Israel is gradually being excluded from core negotiations.
The report states that the current discussions between the U.S. and Iran involve a preliminary memorandum of understanding, which may include Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. lifting maritime sanctions and further nuclear negotiations.
Iran is also reportedly considering handling its highly enriched uranium stockpile under UN supervision.
However, Israel remains cautious about the agreement. Netanyahu is concerned that the deal does not adequately address Iran's nuclear program and uranium stockpile issues, and insists on retaining the right for the Israeli military to continue military actions on multiple fronts, including Lebanon.
Sources say that over the past week, Trump and Netanyahu have spoken at least three times. While the U.S. and Israel still coordinate, their strategic priorities have begun to diverge.
The U.S. is currently more inclined to promote the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and regional ceasefires, while Israel continues to emphasize the complete dismantling of Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities, restricting its missile program, and weakening regional proxy networks.
The report also notes that these negotiations are taking place as Netanyahu faces domestic political pressure and election challenges, with opposition parties criticizing him for failing to achieve previously proposed goals such as regime change in Iran and the elimination of nuclear capabilities.

Trump's "Art of the Deal" is just using allies as bargaining chips.

The nuclear facility is not fully dismantled; Israel will have to do it themselves sooner or later.

The opposition is right to criticize; this time, Netanyahu really didn't get anything out of it.

If the US-Iran memorandum isn't endorsed by Israel, the Middle East powder keg remains hot.

The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is positive for oil prices, but it's hard to say how long the agreement can hold.

Netanyahu is probably so angry he's throwing his cup now. Where's the loyal ally he promised?

Missiles and proxy networks won't solve it; Israel is unlikely to truly sign.

Iran handling enriched uranium under UN supervision? I've seen this script too many times.
