US Media: Israel Virtually Left Out of US-Iran Talks, Netanyahu Marginalized
May 23 – The New York Times reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was deeply involved in the early phase of the U.S.-Iran tensions, participating in the Trump administration’s development of its Iran strategy, leading discussions about a joint strike on Iran, and advocating for regime change in the Islamic Republic.
But as the situation progressed and the U.S. pursued a ceasefire and negotiations with Iran, Israel was notably sidelined. Per the report, Israeli officials were almost entirely excluded from the U.S.-Iran talks, relying only on regional diplomatic channels and their own intelligence networks for information.
This shift has dealt a significant political setback to Netanyahu. Long billed as the “Israeli leader who understands Trump best,” he publicly claimed he had “almost daily” conversations with Trump and that the two made joint decisions on key matters. Now, with the U.S. scaling back coordination with Israel on critical diplomatic processes, Netanyah

The FDIC Proposes Applying Bank Secrecy Act and Sanctions Compliance Requirements to Stablecoin Issuers
On May 23, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) rolled out a new rule that would set Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and economic sanctions compliance standards for stablecoin issuers under its oversight.
The proposal ties to the GENIUS Act, which mandates U.S. federal banking regulators to build a regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers. Earlier FDIC proposals already defined requirements for bank subsidiaries seeking approval to become stablecoin issuers, including rules for capital levels, liquidity, and risk management.
This latest update goes a step further: it requires stablecoin issuers to follow anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorism financing (CFT), economic sanctions, and related reporting obligations—all aligned with rules established by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The FDIC also plans to launch targeted supervision and enforcement mechanisms for these issuers’ AML/CFT programs.
