Former IDF chief of staff and minister Gadi Eizenkot said this morning that Israel is awakening to a US-Iran agreement being shaped far from Jerusalem and Israeli interests, according to his statement carried by Israeli news channels. The criticism follows days of reports on an emerging memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran.
Former IDF chief of staff and minister Gadi Eizenkot stated this morning that Israel is 'waking up to an agreement taking shape far from here and far from the Israeli interest,' according to Israeli media reports. The remark is the highest-level public criticism from a former security establishment figure since reports emerged on an emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding. Eizenkot's language — framing the deal as something being imposed from afar — echoes unease voiced by other Israeli officials in recent days, though Jerusalem has not issued a formal rejection of the emerging framework. As The Zioneer reported, the security cabinet has held sessions on new details regarding the agreement, and President Trump said Prime Minister Netanyahu is 'on board,' but Jerusalem has remained publicly silent. Eizenkot's statement suggests the political-security establishment remains divided, even as diplomatic momentum toward a deal appears to accelerate.
