In a Telegram post shared early Thursday, an Israeli commentator described President Trump signing the agreement with Iran as one of the most shameful moments in US history. The post argued that Israel's only true friends are its air force and army, and urged the pursuit of weapons independence as a lesson from American 'loserness.' The comment adds to a wave of criticism from Israeli and American voices following the US-Iran accord.
An Israeli commentator described President Trump's signing of the agreement with Iran early Thursday as 'one of the most shameful moments in US history,' in a sharply worded Telegram post. The author, whose identity is not specified in the message, argued that the deal demonstrates that 'Israel's only true friends are the air force and the army,' and called for Israeli weapons independence as a lesson not to 'put all eggs in one basket.' The post uses the Hebrew term 'לוזריות' (literal: loser-ness) to characterize the American approach.
The criticism is the latest in a wave of negative Israeli and American responses to the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, which Trump confirmed signing Wednesday night. As The Zioneer reported, Miles Taylor, a former Trump administration Iran policy official, called the deal 'the most shameful in American diplomatic history.' Commentator Itamar Fleishman described it as 'one of the greatest surrenders ever seen,' and reports director warned the deal was 'very bad news for Israel.' Iran has stated that its defensive capabilities are not subject to negotiation.
The post's call for Israeli military self-sufficiency echoes arguments made by some Israeli security figures in recent years. No official Israeli government response to this particular post has been reported.
