Military Intelligence chief Major General Aharon Haliva said at a meeting of the security cabinet on Sunday that the situation in which Iran and world powers will achieve agreement in the nuclear talks in Vienna is better for Israel than the situation in which the talks fail and no agreement is reached at all - according to two ministers participated in the meeting.

According to the two ministers, Haliva said A return to the nuclear agreement will increase certainty about the restrictions that exist on Iran's nuclear program, and will not exist if there is no agreement. Refused to comment on what was said in closed hearings.

Haliva said these things in response to a review by Mossad chief Dedi Barnea, who presented to the cabinet the Mossad's annual intelligence assessment.

Barnea presented a different position from Haliva.

"It is not lost and worth investing time and effort in dialogue with the Americans on the contents of the agreement," he said. Barnea said that the

assessment in Israel is that both Iran and the powers are interested in returning to the nuclear agreement from 2015 and that this will most likely happen. If until a few weeks ago the assessment in Israel was that the Iranians Is that the Iranians are indeed interested in an agreement.

According to two ministers who attended the cabinet meeting the general spirit at the meeting was that even if an agreement is reached with Iran in talks in Vienna one should avoid going public against the Biden administration on the issue.

For example, Foreign Minister Lapid said at a cabinet meeting that the United States is Israel's most important strategic partner and that it should not break relations with the administration.

Lapid told reporters on Monday that Israel is in talks with the United States and other powers And make sure it is as good as possible.

"We are not against any agreement," Lapid said.

"We are at the negotiating table with the superpowers and holding discussions on what a good agreement is. There is attention in the world to the Israeli position. We are now in a war of excavations to achieve small achievements to improve the agreement."
