A 'very senior Israeli official' described the emerging US-Iran agreement as a 'đŠ deal', according to Channel 12 reporter Amit Segal. The comment reflects deepening Israeli unease with the diplomatic framework being negotiated between Washington and Tehran.
Channel 12's political correspondent Amit Segal quoted a 'very senior Israeli official' on Thursday evening as dismissing the emerging US-Iran agreement in blunt terms: 'This is a đŠ deal.' The comment adds a sharp, on-record Israeli voice to a week of reports about an imminent deal between Washington and Tehran.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, a senior US administration official had told Israeli journalists that Washington believes a deal has been reached, and expressed confidence that Israel would be comfortable once it reviewed the full text. A separate senior US official also confirmed direct dialogue with Prime Minister Netanyahu. The Israeli official's dismissive remark â attributed to a very senior but unnamed figure â stands in direct tension with those US assurances.
The remark surfaced just hours before the security cabinet was scheduled to discuss new details on the emerging agreement and the remaining gaps, per a Channel 15 report. The deal's exact terms have not been published. The source of the quote â an on-record attribution to a senior official by a prominent Israeli journalist â lends the claim high credibility, though the specific official's identity and the deal's final shape remain unconfirmed.
