“I spoke yesterday with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. He called me from his plane on the way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as members of this administration do every day, on the developments in the negotiations.”\u00a0<\/strong>— Prime Minister Netanyahu<\/em><\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Israeli Prime Minister\u00a0Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>\u00a0said Monday that the\u00a0Trump administration<\/a>\u00a0was providing\u00a0daily updates to him<\/a>\u00a0about the\u00a0Iran war<\/a>, a statement that sparked backlash online from those calling for greater transparency with the American people.<\/p>\n

Speaking\u00a0at a Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said he had spoken with U.S. Vice President\u00a0JD Vance<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Sunday, who had provided “in detail” the latest information\u00a0on peace talks with Iran<\/a>, “as this administration does every day,” he said.<\/p>\n

News of the daily briefings sparked outrage across the political spectrum, with some commentators saying this meant\u00a0Israel<\/a>\u00a0was calling the shots.<\/p>\n

“The Trump administration daily reports to Netanyahu on the Iranian war, but not Congress or the American people,” Representative Mark Pocan, a Washington Democrat, posted on X. “Let that sink in.”<\/p>\n

Newsweek\u00a0<\/em>reached out to the White House for comment via email Monday afternoon. Netanyahu’s office referred\u00a0Newsweek<\/em>\u00a0to his earlier comments.<\/p>\n

Why It Matters<\/h2>\n

The Trump administration has come under increasing scrutiny from lawmakers and voters over\u00a0President Donald Trump’s decision<\/a>\u00a0to carry out strikes against Iran in late February, sparking a weeks-long conflict alongside Israel. The U.S. has sought to reach a deal with Iran, but a ceasefire brokered by Pakistan was tested when Israel, not included in the deal, continued attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon. In recent days, efforts to secure a longer-term deal in the Gulf have not been successful, with Trump\u00a0now promising to block the crucial Strait of Hormuz.<\/a><\/p>\n
