Times of Israel: Biden said to host Mossad chief at White House as Israel lobbies against US return to Iran deal
US President Joe Biden met yesterday at the White House with Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, according to Israel’s Channel 12 news.
The network says Prime Minister Netanyahu briefed Cohen in advance on the main issues to discuss.
Those issues aren’t specified, but the report comes after Cohen and other top Israeli security officials held talks with senior American officials as the Biden administration looks to rejoin the 2015 deal limiting Iran’s nuclear program, which Israel opposes in its current form.

Biden like most US officials regardless of party affiliation is not trustworthy when it comes to Israel. The US government is awash I'm Iranian operatives and supporters at all levels. Being aware of this the Israelis are going to act accordingly and aren't going to share amything of value with us.
Deal or no nuclear deal the Iranians aren't getting a nuclear weapon unless Israel allows it which doesn't seem likely. Even the Russians aren't going to allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon at this point. Their calculus could change on this. As for us, our best approach is going to be GET OUT OF ISRAEL'S WAY!!
