Israeli Television: Israel said resigned to nuke deal that won't address terror and strategic weapons, with minor improvements over the last.

This policy was expected of the Biden administration. And now it seems the US may have put enough pressure on Israel to back down from its previous demands.
That is at least the surface.
What it usually is, is an arrangement, a bi-lateral exchange rather than one frowning upon the other.
This may have implications on the covert inter-war campaign between Israel and Iran, which the US is known to have taken part in, and may still take part on some level.
Off-topic but directly related to these news, if the mods do not mind.
This will again increase the military pressure on Israel from Iran. There has already been debate, mostly speculations, that the democratic party will condition the military aid Israel receives (as part of the peace with Egypt and Jordan, and compensation for American arms sales to Arab states), on falling in line with American demands on foreign policy matters.
Since Israel's total defense expenditure will have to rise to meet the new threat posed by Iran, future administrations will have to be far more careful when they approach this topic, if the speculations end up fulfilling themselves.
This will also put to the test Biden's promise to remove American troops from the middle east. Their removal has to be done carefully to make sure no instability manifests in the vacuum they leave. As Iran seeks to undo American progress in the region, withdrawing now will be more difficult than at any point during the 2nd half of the Trump admin, when sanctions were fully restored.
