An Israeli delegation headed by Yossi Cohen, the national security adviser at the Prime Minister’s Office, will arrive in Washington next week for a final round of talks with administration officials regarding the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, Haaretz reports.
The official deadline for reaching a deal is the last day of June.
A senior Israeli official says Cohen will meet National Security Adviser Susan Rice at the White House, as well as officials heading the American negotiating team. The Israeli delegation, Haaretz reports, will include experts from the Department of National Security at the Prime Minister’s Office, from the Foreign Ministry and from Israel’s Commission on Atomic Energy.
According to the official, one of the delegation’s goals is to make a final effort to influence parts of the agreement which Israel perceives as flawed or in need of correction, as well as raise issues which Israel believes are not addressed by the agreement and deserve consideration.
