Trump: 'Fake News CNN' misrepresents Iran deal, says Iran 'won't have nuclear weapon'

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday accused CNN of mischaracterizing his Iran nuclear agreement, saying the network falsely claimed the deal "doesn't talk about nuclear."

Trump wrote in a TruthSocial post that the agreement "states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon," and added that it goes on in "very strong and lengthy detail" to address other nuclear-related issues, which he said make up much of the text.

Sirens sound in northern Israel's Kiryat Shmona, Tiberias amid Hezbollah launches from Lebanon

Sirens sounded early Monday in the northern city of Tiberias and surrounding communities after a day in which cross-border fire from Lebanon spread further into northern Israel. It was the first time sirens were heard in Tiberias since the cease-fire came into effect, and the most distant strike since then.

The Israel Defense Forces said two launches were identified: one fell near IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon, while the second landed in an open area inside Israel.

Throughout Sunday, shrapnel fell in open areas, including near Nahariya, as sirens sounded repeatedly across Acre, Kiryat Shmona, and communities in the Western Galilee and Galilee panhandle amid rocket and drone fire.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he told IDF commanders in Lebanon, "It will take more time, but we will restore security to the residents of the north, just as we did for the residents of the south."

Levin said it was time to adopt "a series of operational decisions" that would "return control of the state to the government" and "put an end to judicial anarchy."

"I join MK Rabbi Aryeh Deri's call not to remain silent any longer," Levin said, adding that he had long urged the government and coalition to unite, rise above internal disputes and "put an end to the discriminatory judicial anarchy under which many sectors of the public are being trampled."

Israel's High Court of Justice rejected a petition seeking an interim injunction to remove Yonatan Urich, an adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, from the Prime Minister's Office. Urich is expected to be indicted in connection with the BibiLeaks affair.

The petition was filed by the Movement for Quality Government.

The court also rejected a request by Haaretz to declassify the full Shin Bet security agency opinion submitted to the court regarding the lifting of restrictions on Urich and Netanyahu's former spokesperson, Eli Feldstein, concerning their access to the Prime Minister's Office.

The justices instructed the state to provide an update within 30 days on a policy review of security clearance requirements for advisers in the prime minister's circle, after the state said it is considering requiring security clearances for officials working closely with the prime minister.
