U.S. President Donald Trump is set to speak with Israeli PM Netanyahu as Tehran prepares a counter-proposal to Washington’s nuclear offer via Oman, amid rising tensions over Gaza aid and Iran’s enrichment program.

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to hold a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, according to two White House officials. The discussion comes at a sensitive time, as Washington seeks to accelerate humanitarian aid to Gaza and address ongoing concerns surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The call also follows remarks by Trump last week, in which he revealed that he had urged Netanyahu to avoid actions that could jeopardize ongoing indirect nuclear talks with Tehran. “I told him this would be inappropriate to do right now because we're very close to a solution,” Trump said during a press briefing in the Oval Office. “That could change at any moment.”

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that Iran is finalizing a counter-proposal to the U.S. nuclear offer, which will be delivered via Oman. The Iranian side has deemed the American proposal, first submitted in late May, “unacceptable.”
