Add StudioX as a preferred source on GoogleIran said on Monday that it has a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks with the United States, according to France 24. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded that he wants to “finish the job” first.
A shorter timeline from Tehran
According to France 24, the Iranian proposal would shorten a process that had originally been expected to take seven days. The plan covers two steps: reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restarting nuclear negotiations with Washington.
The report, presented by France 24’s International Affairs Editor Angela Diffley, does not give further details of how the plan would work. It also does not say how the United States has responded.
Netanyahu signals he is not ready
Netanyahu’s reaction pointed in a different direction. He said he wanted to “finish the job” before any such steps, according to the France 24 report. The two positions leave a clear gap between Tehran’s offer and the stance of Israel’s prime minister.
The exchange comes as the war in the Middle East continues, a point France 24 raised in its recent coverage of how Israel’s election could affect Iran.
Israel’s political picture remains unsettled
Netanyahu’s comments come at a delicate political moment at home. France 24 reported on 30 October that Israel’s election ended in deadlock, with final results showing no clear winner. On 2 November, it reported that Israel’s president had begun the process of coalition government negotiations.
France 24’s earlier coverage of the vote noted that the prime minister lost a significant number of seats compared with the 2022 election. It also reported historic gains for Arab-majority parties. One analyst quoted in a France 24 headline said the Israeli electorate has moved rightward.
France 24 also reported that Lebanon expects little change in Israeli policy as a result of the election.
