A senior Israeli official told Army Radio (N13) in recent minutes that the emerging US-Iran agreement is 'shocking for Israel' and that no one in the top echelon — from the prime minister to the chief of staff — thinks otherwise, according to journalists Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh.
A senior Israeli official told Army Radio (N13) on Monday morning that the emerging US-Iran agreement is 'shocking for Israel,' asserting that the entire security and political leadership — from Prime Minister Netanyahu to IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir — shares this assessment.
The comment, reported by journalists Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh, is the latest in a series of Israeli expressions of unease with the deal framework. Over the weekend, a different senior Israeli official described it as a '💩 deal' to Channel 12's Amit Segal, and Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) assessed it as a strategic disaster lacking any real concessions on Iran's nuclear or missile programs. Israeli politicians were quoted calling it a 'total victory for the ayatollahs.'
President Trump announced on June 11 that an 'excellent settlement' to end the war with Iran had been reached in principle. US officials stated on Saturday that Washington believes a deal is in place. Prime Minister Netanyahu has not publicly commented on the latest round of descriptions, though Trump claimed on Monday that Netanyahu is 'on board' with the agreement.
