Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sits down with CNBC’s Sara Eisen as Washington and Tehran are trading sharp rhetoric over stalled nuclear talks and Iran has escalated tensions by targeting its Gulf state neighbors.

Netanyahu sits down for the exclusive interview at 10 a.m. ET in Jerusalem at a crucial time for not only his leadership but the country’s future.
