Abu Saleh, an Arab affairs commentator, said Monday that the emerging US-Iran nuclear deal is a 'disaster for Israel,' reacting to Vice President JD Vance's claim that 'some in Israel very much like the agreement.' The commentator sharply criticized both the deal and Prime Minister Netanyahu for agreeing to it, calling the accord a catastrophe.
In a sharp-tongued post Monday evening, Abu Saleh, an Arab affairs commentator with the Saleh Desk channel, strongly rejected Vice President JD Vance's characterization of Israeli sentiment toward the emerging US-Iran deal. Reacting to Vance's statement — made earlier Monday — that 'some in Israel very much like the agreement,' Saleh called the accord 'a disaster, a disaster for Israel' and questioned how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'gave a hand to this thing.'
The outburst reflects a growing rift within Israeli public discourse over the nuclear deal currently being negotiated between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer reported on Monday, Vance has in recent days asserted that 'elements in Israel' support the agreement, while also acknowledging that many details remain unresolved and signaling occasional daylight between the US and Israeli positions. The full text of the deal has not yet been published, and the timeline for signing remains fluid — Vance himself has said it could come next week or take months.
Saleh's post is representative of an ongoing, heated debate across Israeli media and commentary channels about the implications of an accord that critics view as a strategic peril and a departure from Israel's long-standing policy of opposing any nuclear deal with Iran.
