Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly working to influence the final US-Iran peace agreement even after telling President Donald Trump that Israel does not consider itself bound by the deal. According to reports, Netanyahu remains skeptical of Tehran’s intentions and believes Iran will not fully comply with restrictions on its nuclear programme. He is said to be using allies in conservative media and supportive US senators to pressure Washington. A major sticking point is the agreement’s requirement for a permanent end to hostilities in Lebanon, which Israel has resisted despite growing international pressure. (PC: Reuters)
