In a Telegram post, Israeli commentator Dr. Guy Bechor says the Israeli government, which he terms a 'Caligula regime,' spent recent hours trying to placate Iran by offering money for restraint — and claims Iran rejected the offer with contempt. Bechor also criticizes opposition leaders for not backing Prime Minister Netanyahu amid ongoing security tensions.
Dr. Guy Bechor published a strongly worded assessment on his the source at 21:19 Jerusalem time, claiming that the Israeli government — which he calls a 'Caligula regime' — spent the past hours trying to bribe Iran not to attack. According to Bechor, Iran rejected the offer contemptuously and may still raise its price. He also accuses the opposition in the Knesset of failing to back Prime Minister Netanyahu after his response to the Trump administration and to the Lebanon front, and criticizes Israeli media for what he calls chronic fear-mongering. The post is an opinion piece, not a report citing official sources or named government officials. The Zioneer previously covered related commentary: on June 13, reserve officer Prof. Gabi Siboni argued that any deal with Iran is bad for Israel as long as the current regime remains, and earlier on June 13, Iran reportedly rejected a Trump cash-for-restraint offer. Bechor's post echoes the latter claim as a settled fact but remains uncorroborated by any independent source in this intake.
