The New York Times reports, citing two Israeli defense officials, that Prime Minister Netanyahu has been left 'almost entirely out of the loop' as the United States conducts direct negotiations with Iran. Israel's diminishing influence over decisions that directly threaten its survival signals a profound shift in the regional power dynamic, with the Jewish state increasingly isolated on the world stage. This aligns with biblical prophecy warning that Israel will stand alone among the nations in the last days, as described in Zechariah 12:3.
