Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel are "worried about any deal" President Trump might strike with Iran, one source told NBC News.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would normally celebrate a hostage release such as that taking place on Monday, though in this case the deal with Hamas is another sign US President Donald Trump is starting to make decisions without him.
