Prime Minister Yair Lapid and opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu will meet tomorrow (Monday) for a security update meeting on the Iranian nuclear deal.

The meeting will be held tomorrow at 17:00, at the Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem.



A few minutes after the meeting was scheduled, Netanyahu published a video in which he attacked the policies of Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz, claiming that they "fell asleep on guard and allowed Iran to reach an agreement that endangers our future."

"In the past year, Lapid and Gantz have completely abandoned the public struggle against the nuclear agreement with Iran. For 12 years we fought with determination against this agreement and even got the United States to withdraw from it," he said, "but in their only year in power, Lapid and Gantz allowed the US and Iran to reach an agreement A nuclear that endangers our future."



The meeting is being held in preparation for the signing of the nuclear agreement that is taking shape between Iran and the United States.

On Friday, Gantz visited the headquarters of the Southern Command of the United States Army and met with the National Security Advisor at the White House, Jake Sullivan.

During the meeting, he got the impression that the Biden administration was preparing a military option against Iran at the same time as the negotiations on the nuclear agreement, according to a security source who participated in the meeting.

At the same time, the head of the Mossad, Dedi Barnea, will go to Washington next week for talks on the nuclear agreement with Iran.

A senior political official said that during the visit, Barnea is expected to appear before the Intelligence Committee of the Senate and the American House of Representatives and express his position against the American return to the nuclear agreement.

"We are making a coordinated effort to make sure that the Americans and the Europeans understand the dangers involved in the agreement," Lapid said in a press briefing.

"Our political directive, from day one, is to fight against the agreement with all our might, but without harming the strategic relations with the United States, and without harming their attention to our arguments."



Lapid stated that Israel must not repeat Netanyahu's way of dealing with the Obama administration in 2015.

"We are paying to this day for the damage caused by Netanyahu's speech to Congress, as a result of which the American administration stopped the dialogue with us and it is not possible for Israel to introduce amendments to the agreement," he said.



Lapid and Netanyahu's last meeting happened during Operation Dawn.

Apart from this meeting, since the establishment of the Bennett-Lapid government, Netanyahu has not attended the legally required update meetings with the Prime Minister, neither with the previous Prime Minister Naftali Bennett nor with the current Prime Minister Lapid, and has agreed to receive security updates only through the military secretary.
