In Israel, Broad Discontent Over the Emerging U.S. Deal With Iran
New York Times ^ | June 14, 2026 | Isabel Kershner

Posted on 06/14/2026 4:15:49 PM PDT by Jim Noble

The main headline of Sunday’s Yediot Aharonot, a popular Hebrew daily, summed up in two words the prevailing sentiment in Israel over President Trump’s emerging cease-fire agreement with Iran: “Bad Deal.”

Israel waged two wars against Iran in the past year, the most recent one the campaign launched in late February with U.S. forces. Now Israel, which had not been a party to the Trump administration’s negotiations with Iran, is being left out of the potential peace...

Even before the announcement came on Sunday that a cease-fire agreement had been reached, the details that had surfaced in news media reports prompted a flood of criticism and expressions of discontent from Israelis spanning the country’s political spectrum...

At the outset, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the objective was “to remove the existential threats” to Israel. That meant destroying any nuclear threat from Iran and its ballistic missile program, he said, as well as “creating the conditions” for the Iranian people to topple the government...

Israeli experts were alarmed that elements key to Israel appear not to have been mentioned at all...

An Israeli who had been briefed on the deal with Iran, and who requested anonymity to discuss diplomacy, listed Israel’s main problems with the proposal:

There are no clear answers regarding the treatment of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, and not enough curbs on Iran’s nuclear program, with the deal appearing to rely on Iranian good will...

Israel has sought to prevent any direct link between a deal with Iran and its military campaign against Hezbollah, noting that the militants are on its doorstep, but its influence appears to have been limited.

Now Israel, which had not been a party to the Trump administration’s negotiations with Iran, is being left out of the potential peace...

Trump wants the Straits open, and Trump wants continued discussion about the uranium. The agreement seems to cover these things.

Israel wants (in part) to deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon. If Israel is left out of Trump's deal, then Israel seems to be free to act as it wishes. Do they think this is a bad thing?

At this point it likely better for both Nations for aid to end. GOD had Israel’s back,even when they make there covenant with death.

Well according to Trump Bibi is effing crazy - has no effing judgement in making an effing attack and pisses Trump off.

So we can only conclude Trump doesn’t give a rats ass about Israel.

what if the hawks are right about Iran?

then what happens is that even though we get a temporary peace this —Iran will immediately start to break the terms of agreement.

But it will take them time to really abuse the terms of agreement how much time? At least six months.

There is nothing in the agreement that says that the US can’t bomb iran and kill their leaders again.

So Trump will go back again next year.

But in the meantime we will have had 6 months of peace.

That’s enough time to bring the price of oil down and promote the republicans in the mid terms elections this fall.

It’s one of the biggest errors in our history with Iran to recognize Hezbollah as a legitimate extension of Iranian sovereignty...one whom Iran can negotiate for.

A thousand miles from Tehran, it’s a terror army occupying Lebanon.

A truly dumb ass allowance.

“creating the conditions” for the Iranian people to topple the government...”

A ridiculous and imbecilic assertion by the author.

“So Trump will go back again next year.”

He certainly will not.

And after this debacle neither will any future US president.

It’s too bad that Trump apparently believed that a popular overthrow of the government was a possibility - not sure if the people who sold that to him ever believed it, or were just backing him into a trap they hoped he couldn’t back out of.

He’s desperate for a deal, and Iran is using that to drive a wedge between the U.S. and Israel.
