MK Boaz Bismuth (Likud) said Monday that Israel is not obligated by the emerging US-Iran agreement and remains an independent country committed to its citizens' security and the continued achievement of the war's objectives, according to a statement posted on Telegram.
MK Boaz Bismuth (Likud) weighed in Monday evening on the emerging US-Iran agreement, asserting that Israel is not bound by it. His statement, posted on Telegram, echoes a growing chorus of Israeli political figures — including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and a senior Israeli source cited by The Zioneer on Friday — rejecting any obligation arising from the deal. Bismuth framed Israel's stance as a matter of national sovereignty and the ongoing war's objectives, though he did not specify which war aims he referred to. The remarks follow a series of conflicting signals from Israeli and American officials over the past week: while Prime Minister Netanyahu has reportedly assured President Trump that Israel is not bound by any Lebanon clause, a senior US official told Israeli media that no country would waive its right to self-defense under the agreement. Bismuth's comment adds a legislative voice to the political opposition, but reflects no shift in official government policy.
