Opposition leader Naftali Bennett said the reported US-Iran agreement is not a decree of fate and that there is a clear strategic plan to collapse the Iranian regime. Bennett outlined a dual approach: preventing Iran from breaking out to a nuclear weapon while simultaneously dismantling the regime through diplomatic, intelligence, economic, technological, and military means.
Opposition leader Naftali Bennett (Yemina party) issued a sharp response Monday morning to the emerging US-Iran framework, arguing that the agreement does not present an inevitable outcome and that Israel can counter it. 'This is not a decree of fate. It can be fixed. We have a clear strategic plan to collapse the Iranian regime,' Bennett said in a statement carried by N12. He described a two-track strategy: preventing Iran's nuclear breakout with one hand while using diplomatic, intelligence, economic, technological, and military tools to fragment the regime. Bennett's remarks follow a wave of Israeli political pushback against the terms of the emerging accord, including from both coalition and opposition figures. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, National Security Minister Ben Gvir stated that the deal does not obligate Israel, and that Hezbollah must be disarmed. A senior security source separately said there is no Israeli withdrawal clause in the agreement, and that the IDF was instructed to stabilize its current lines in southern Lebanon while preparing for a ceasefire.
