US denies cutting Israel out of Iran talks

An Israeli report claims the US administration has stopped updating Israel about developments in nuclear negotiations between the P5+1 and the Islamic Republic of Iran, allegedly in response to the Zionist Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to accept an invitation by Republicans to address Congress on the issue.

According to the report by Israel's Channel 2, US Undersecretary of State, Wendy Sherman, who is involved in the talks has announced she will no longer be updating Israelis about the talks.

Susan Rice, US President Obama's National Security Advisor, has also reportedly announced she is cutting ties with her Israeli counterpart, Yossi Cohen, who serves as Netanyahu's National Security Advisor.

The White House however has denied the allegations in the Channel 2 report, saying they were “patently false.”

The White House has added that the US National Security Advisor Rice maintains regular contact with her Israeli counterpart on the full range of issues of mutual concern to our nations, and will in fact meet with him later this week at the White House.

The US State Department also denied any breakdown in communication between the Obama administration and Israel on the sensitive negotiations with Iran.

"Secretary Kerry continues his conversations with Prime Minister Netanyahu about this issue, as has always been the case.
