Prime Minister Naftali Bennett speaks with the head of the UN’s atomic watchdog, Rafael Grossi, ahead of the latter’s trip to Iran this weekend.
According to a statement from Bennett’s office, the premier stressed “Israel’s positions regarding the nuclear talks in Vienna and in regards to the open IAEA cases dealing with Iran’s [nuclear] weapon program.”
Bennett also tells Grossi he expects the International Atomic Energy Agency will act as a “professional and impartial monitoring body,” the statement says, adding the two agreed to stay in touch.
