Prime Minister’s office dismisses New York Times report as ‘fake news’

The Israeli Prime Minister’s office has flatly denied a New York Times report claiming that the United States had expressed concerns about Israel planning to eliminate senior members of Iran’s nuclear negotiating team whilst Washington was engaged in sensitive diplomatic talks with Tehran last spring. In a statement, the PMO said the report was “fake news” and described it as “a complete fabrication of reality”. The office did not elaborate further on the specific allegations made by the American newspaper. The denial comes amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, with the two nations locked in a broader regional conflict that has intensified in recent months. The reported diplomatic tensions between Washington and Jerusalem underscore the delicate balance the United States has attempted to maintain in its Middle East policy, particularly regarding sensitive negotiations with Tehran.
