After US President Donald Trump announces he has been holding “very good and productive” talks with Iran on ending the war, and has postponed his ultimatum to bomb Iran’s energy sites if it didn’t allow the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz by Monday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issues no immediate statement reacting to the news.

The PMO also does not respond to requests for comment.
