Israel is concerned that US President Donald Trump may strike a deal with Iran without resolving some of the key issues that prompted the countries to go to war. This was reported by CNN, citing "multiple Israeli sources," according to UNN.

The publication's interlocutors noted that a deal that leaves Tehran's nuclear program partially intact, while bypassing issues such as ballistic missiles and support for regional proxies, would lead Israel to consider the war unfinished.
"The main concern is that Trump will grow tired of negotiations and strike a deal — any deal — with last-minute concessions,"
It is noted that while US officials have assured Israel that the issue of Iran's stockpiles of highly enriched uranium will be addressed, the apparent exclusion of ballistic missiles and Tehran's network of proxies from the negotiations "is a serious matter."
"There is a real concern that Trump will reach a bad deal. Israel is trying to influence him as much as possible," said another source for the publication.
Context
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi suggested that the United States' primary motive in the negotiations might not be peace, as "one cannot talk about a ceasefire while continuing the siege."
Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated that Iran's response to the US peace plan was a "stupid proposal" and "garbage," and that he "didn't read it to the end."
