Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to use pro-Israel senators and right-wing media personalities to influence the terms of a final agreement between the United States and Iran, CNN reports, citing an Israeli source.
Netanyahu believes a final deal with Iran will be secured but that Tehran will not fulfill its obligations under the agreement, the source says.
He plans to use media figures, such as Fox News’ Mark Levin, and pro-Israel politicians, to get his message across to Trump.
CNN says it reached out to the Prime Minister’s Office for comment on its report.
