Washington's policy of briefing Israel on progress in negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program has not changed, senior US officials told
The Jerusalem Post on Sunday, despite reports to the contrary in Israeli media.
Channel 2 reported earlier in the day the US would halt its briefings to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in light of his planned speech to Congress. Netanyahu is expected to criticize the state of the global diplomatic effort, which is geared towards crafting a comprehensive nuclear agreement."Conversations continue with Israel on the Iran nuclear negotiations," one senior State Department official said. "Under Secretary Sherman met with Israeli NSA Cohen and Minister for Intelligence and Strategic Planning Steinitz in Munich and will see NSA Cohen again this week."
