Israel has reportedly outlined key demands for its upcoming meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, focusing on the complete removal of enriched uranium from Iran and ensuring freedom for military operations in the region.
According to Israel's N12 broadcast on July 27, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and security officials recently convened to discuss the requirements they plan to present during the summit with Trump.
The primary condition Israel is emphasizing is the total export of Iran's enriched uranium. Israeli security officials have stated that they cannot accept any compromise on this issue, insisting that no enriched uranium should remain in Iran.
Israel is also expected to demand independent military operation authority to eliminate security threats not only from Iran but also from Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon. This reflects Israel's stance that any agreement between the U.S. and Iran should not restrict its military actions. N12 reported that the freedom to conduct operations is a core element of Israel's new security strategy.
Maintaining a buffer zone along the Syria-Lebanon border is also included in Israel's red lines. Israeli security officials anticipate strong international pressure for withdrawal from the area but maintain that the buffer zone is essential for blocking threats in border regions.
Another significant demand is to preserve Israel's technological superiority. Concerns have grown within Israel regarding the potential sale of F-35 stealth fighters to Turkey by the U.S., which could undermine its military and technological edge in the region.
Israel is expected to stress that U.S. arms sales should not compromise its military and technological superiority in the Middle East.
Israeli security officials are also preparing for the possibility that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran may collapse or yield little success. They do not have high expectations for a successful outcome and are maintaining a high level of alert in case the situation deteriorates rapidly, according to N12.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu has arrived in the U.S. and plans to meet with President Trump at 11 a.m. local time on July 29.
