Israel will call for three “no”s at a meeting tomorrow with US special envoy Steve Witkoff ahead of his meeting later this week with Iran’s top diplomat, Channel 12 reports.
Those demands are that, under any deal with the US, Iran agree to have no nuclear program, no ballistic missile program, and to give no support to armed proxy groups, including terror groups threatening Israel.
Mossad chief David Barnea will join Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir at the meeting with Witkoff, according to the report.
Israel believes it is possible to bring down the Iranian regime with military strikes, says Channel 12.
