'Israel' asked the US to see the text of the Iran agreement and was rejected, an Israeli source tells CNN, leaving a key US ally in the dark about a deal that’s already being widely criticized.

The source said part of the reason the request was turned down was because the Trump administration feared 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would leak the agreement before it was officially released.

'Israel’s' i24 News was first to report the request and subsequent rejection. CNN has reached out to the White House and the 'Israeli' Prime Minister’s Office for comment.

On Monday evening, Netanyahu held a news conference in which he hardly addressed the agreement in his eight-minute opening statement. When asked afterward, Netanyahu said he and Trump “do not always see eye to eye.”

He also said, “We still do not know what the agreement will be.”
