Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak said the emerging US-Iran agreement is 'very bad' and that Israel is paying the price for Prime Minister Netanyahu's arrogance and blindness. Barak's statement echoes a wave of criticism from Israeli political and security figures.
Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak on Thursday morning added his voice to the growing domestic criticism of the emerging US-Iran framework deal, calling it 'very bad' and arguing that Israel is paying for Netanyahu's 'arrogance and blindness.' Barak's remarks, posted on social media and reported by Israeli outlets, do not specify details of the agreement but align with a broader campaign by former premiers and security officials. The Zioneer has previously reported that a senior Israeli official called the deal a '💩 deal' (Jun 13, 23:30), and former PM Lapid termed it 'a complete failure' for Netanyahu (Jun 13, 23:04). Barak's statement is the latest in a sequence of public rebukes from across the political spectrum, reflecting deepening unease in Jerusalem as the Trump administration reportedly advances a memorandum of understanding with Tehran. No on-record response from Netanyahu's office has been published as of this writing.
