Israeli officials are expressing deep concern over a proposal from President Donald Trump, with one official reportedly describing it as 'like tossing a match into explosives.'

Israeli officials are alarmed by a new proposal from US President Donald Trump, describing it in stark terms. A source quoted in the report called the move 'like tossing a match into explosives,' indicating a sharp deterioration in Israeli confidence in Washington's approach to Iran. The bulletin comes amid a sustained thread of The Zioneer reporting on growing Israeli unease over US-Iran negotiations. On June 13, The Zioneer reported that Trump's concessions to Iran alarmed Israeli officials, with one official saying the US was 'doing to us what Obama did.' On Wednesday at 00:38, journalist Amit Segal (N12) was quoted saying Trump is bringing a deal worse than Obama's 2015 JCPOA on Iran. The Zioneer also reported on June 11 that a senior military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, Mohsen Rezaei, threatened Trump with Iranian missiles and demanded Washington choose between accepting Tehran's terms or losing credibility. The specific details of the new Trump proposal have not been disclosed, but the reaction from Israeli officials signals a major concern over the direction of US policy on Iran and its implications for Israeli security.
