Prime Minister Yair Lapid stresses to US President Joe Biden that Iran will not agree to a stronger nuclear deal without a credible military threat, and says that at some point the procrastination in the talks with Tehran must end.
Lapid tells Biden that he believes Tehran is playing for time and the US must impose serious sanctions on Tehran to get the Iranians to return to the negotiating table.
In a wider meeting with the respective staffs of the two leaders, Ukraine is discussed with a focus on the global food crisis.
Alternate Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is not present at the wider meeting.
