Defense Minister Benny Gantz says Israel is in touch with the US and regional countries about the talks to restore the Iran nuclear deal, amid reports of recent progress in the negotiations.

“We will do everything we can to influence the agreement,” Gantz says during a faction meeting.

Noting Israel won’t be a party to any agreement, he adds, “it will know how to maintain its freedom of action as needed.”
