Israeli PM Netanyahu allegedly attempting to influence next phase of US-Iran talks by rallying support from conservatives

Jerusalem, Jun 18 (UNI) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly attempting to influence the next phase of US-Iran negotiations by rallying support among conservative media figures and pro-Israel lawmakers in Washington, according to CNN.
Netanyahu, along with much of the Knesset has remained deeply sceptical of Iran's intentions throughout the diplomatic process, maintaining that Tehran is not negotiating in good faith and is unlikely to make any meaningful concessions on its nuclear programme.
Furthermore, Israel has not publicly endorsed the agreement, nor was it directly involved in negotiations that produced the memorandum, which has only led to more cynicism in Israeli circles regarding the agreement.
