Netanyahu arrives for security briefing with Lapid as renewed Iran deal looms
Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived for a security briefing with Prime Minister Yair Lapid, as Iran and world powers appear poised to sign an agreement restoring the 2015 nuclear deal.
A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office says Lapid will brief Netanyahu on the Iran deal and “the diplomatic and defense activities that Israel is leading to influence the issue,” along with other unspecified national security issues.
“On issues of national security, Israel has no opposition and coalition,” Lapid is quoted as saying in the statement.
The two are joined in the meeting by the premier’s military secretary, Brig. Gen. Avi Gil.
