DEBKAfile
PM Binyamin Netanyahu called a top-level conference overnight Monday, Feb. 22, with defense, security and diplomatic officials on the prospect of the US returning to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran for negotiations on such improvements as a ban on Iran’s ballistic missiles and end to destabilizing regional activities.
According to Kan broadcasting sources, Netanyahu found little support for the “confrontational” approach he urged on the issue; the Kachol Lavan defense and foreign ministers, Benny Gantz and Gaby Ashkenazi, as well as the chief of staff Lt Gen. Aviv Kochavi and some security chiefs were said to prefer sticking to dialogue with Washington.
