Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ongoing meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House aims to establish a joint course of action should Washington fail to reach an agreement with Iran, amid skepticism from both sides over the likelihood of a deal emerging, reports Channel 12, citing US and Israeli officials.

Washington is skeptical that a deal with Iran can be reached — even one focused solely on Iran’s nuclear program, as opposed to one addressing ballistic missiles as well, a senior US official tells the network. Accordingly, a central goal of today’s meeting is to agree on a plan of action if the deal fails, the official continues, adding that if Israel and the US agree on a joint strike in the absence of a deal, it will be much more effective if done together.

The political and security establishments in Israel do not expect a deal to emerge, the report adds, saying that Netanyahu seeks to preserve Israel’s freedom of action surrounding Tehran, whether a deal is reached or not.
