Senior American officials say Washington was in constant communication with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran, disproving reports that Israel had not been informed of its contents. According to the same sources, Netanyahu considered that the agreement could be a "great success" if implemented as planned.

In particular, according to Times of Israel, the U.S. government maintained constant communication with Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, about the details of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, according to what senior US officials stated on the Israeli television network Channel 12.

The same sources argued that Netanyahu had described the agreement as a possible "great success", if it is implemented exactly as described in the negotiating text.

American officials also rejected Israeli media reports that the Israeli government had not been informed of the content of the agreement.

As they said, even if Netanyahu had not received the full text of the document in the last one or two days, he knew throughout the negotiations his basic elements and predictions.

He did not ask to see the full text of the agreement
According to the same officials, the Israeli Prime Minister never asked to see the full text of the agreement. Although it had reservations as to how it was implemented and its chances of success, it considered that it could develop into a significant diplomatic and strategic achievement if implemented in accordance with the design.

These statements contradict what Channel 12 broadcast the day before. The Israeli television network had reported that Israel had not yet received official information on the final terms of the agreement.

According to the same report, the Israeli government had asked to consider the memorandum of understanding, but Washington reportedly refused the request, expressing concerns that the details of the document could leak.

The American sources, however, insist that there was no substantial lack of information on Israel and that Netanyahu was aware of the content and course of the talks throughout the process.
