Political commentator Amit Segal (N12) assessed Monday evening that U.S. President Donald Trump has made serious errors in negotiations with Iran, and that Israel's best course of action is to allow the administration to realize its mistakes on its own rather than intervene directly with American policymakers.
Amit Segal, chief political analyst for N12 News, published an assessment Monday evening stating that President Trump's handling of negotiations with Iran has been a significant strategic error. According to Segal, the administration's approach to engaging Tehran has created a predicament that Washington must now navigate on its own. He argued that Israeli officials should exercise restraint and avoid confronting the White House directly over the matter, as a direct confrontation would be counterproductive. The assessment comes after several weeks in which Trump has publicly expressed confidence in the diplomatic track with Iran, while also warning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel could be 'left alone' if strikes escalate into a broader war, as The Zioneer previously reported. Segal's analysis adds an Israeli establishment-media voice to a growing chorus of skepticism regarding the U.S.-Iran dialogue.
