[Israel Excluded from U.S.-Iran Negotiations, Concerned About Marginalization] Golden Finance reported on May 24 that U.S. President Trump stated on May 23 that the U.S. and Iran have "basically reached" an agreement, with final details to be announced soon. The Iranian side indicated that both parties are in the final stages of drafting a memorandum of understanding but emphasized that the current phase does not involve nuclear issue details, focusing solely on ending the war. An unnamed Israeli official told the media that the U.S. has currently excluded Israel from the U.S.-Iran negotiations, leaving Israel unable to participate in the evaluation and discussion of the negotiation content. At present, Israel can only learn about the progress of the negotiations indirectly. Local media commented that Israel has been moved from the "cockpit" to "economy class," with no decision-making power. This marginalized state has left Israel feeling uneasy. (CCTV News)
