A high-level meeting between US and Israeli officials regarding Iran's nuclear program has been canceled following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's criticism of the lack of US military aid [2af7fc45]. The meeting, which was scheduled to take place in Washington, DC, was called off after Netanyahu's comments, according to a senior official [2af7fc45]. The cancellation is seen as a message to Netanyahu that such remarks against the Biden administration are not acceptable [68b7268f]. The meeting was supposed to discuss information about a computer modeling program that could be used to assist in developing nuclear weapons [2af7fc45]. Despite the cancellation of the high-level talks, a scheduled visit by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to the US next week is still proceeding as planned, along with other meetings about aid distribution and coordination [2af7fc45]. Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, argued that Netanyahu's video was a glimpse into the Biden administration's policies [2af7fc45]. The strained relationship between the US and Israel has further deteriorated following the start of the Israel and Hamas war, with Israeli far-right politicians in Netanyahu's cabinet opposing the Biden administration's efforts to finalize a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas [94547b23]. Despite President Biden's three-stage plan for a ceasefire, Netanyahu remains steadfast in his approach, disregarding the devastating impact of Israeli aggression on Palestinian lives [94547b23]. The international community has increasingly condemned Israel's actions and called for accountability and reform [94547b23] [2af7fc45].
