US denied Israel's request to view Iran deal prior to signing ceremony, source tells 'Post'

The United States has denied Israel's request to review a newly agreed-upon Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) before its official signing ceremony, a source told The Jerusalem Post. The ceremony is anticipated to take place in Switzerland later this week.

Details of the deal remain undisclosed, though it is reportedly comprised of 14 separate clauses. These are said to include the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from southern Lebanon and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement may also involve the release of approximately $24 billion in sanctioned funds.

Despite reports that the peace deal includes a provision for Lebanon, Israeli officials have not yet confirmed whether the IDF will indeed pull back from the area. An IDF source previously indicated that if Hezbollah respects the ceasefire, there would be no attacks in Lebanon. The future of IDF operations in Lebanon remains uncertain as the specifics of the MOU have yet to emerge.
