Israel is closely following diplomatic developments surrounding the Iranian nuclear program
US President Donald Trump stated that the United States and Iran are very close to a final agreement that would prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
According to him, “things are getting better every day,” and a memorandum of understanding to end the conflict could be signed within 48 hours.
This expectation comes as Israel slightly reduced its maximum alert level during the holiday, although it maintains strong military readiness.
The country continues to await Trump’s final decision on the fate of the enriched uranium still existing in Iran, considered a central threat to Israeli security.
Overnight, Trump participated in a new round of negotiations with regional leaders, reinforcing optimism about a possible end to hostilities.
However, tension persists on the northern border: Sergeant Noam Hamburger died in an explosive drone attack, and two other soldiers were injured, one of them seriously.
In addition to external issues, the country is also experiencing a serious situation internally.
In Ramla, a man was found shot dead inside a burning truck, which is being investigated as a possible murder.
The balance between the hope for peace and the need to maintain defense remains delicate, with the future of the agreement depending directly on the next few hours and Trump’s final position.
Trump is expected to speak with Prime Minister Netanyahu tonight as part of a round of negotiations with other leaders in the region.
