Mati Tuchfeld, head of Channel 14's political desk, quoted a senior Israeli official who said the emerging US-Iran agreement is 'terrible' and 'abandons the state of Israel and the Iranian people, whom Trump promised change.' The comments reflect growing criticism from within Israel's political system as the deal advances.
Mati Tuchfeld, Channel 14's political desk chief, reported a senior Israeli official's sharp criticism of the emerging US-Iran agreement on Monday. The official reportedly described the deal as 'terrible' and claimed it 'abandons the state of Israel and the Iranian people, whom Trump promised change.' The remarks come as diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran continue to develop, with multiple Israeli political figures expressing concerns in recent days.
Tuchfeld noted the contrast between the official's candid assessment and the measured public posture of the Israeli government. The comment follows a series of warnings from Israeli analysts and politicians — including opposition leader Naftali Bennett and MK Moshe Saada — regarding the potential security implications of a US-Iran framework deal.
The agreement, whose details remain under negotiation, has drawn criticism from both the Israeli right and security establishment figures who argue it does not adequately address Iran's nuclear program or regional proxy activities. The senior official's remarks represent one of the more pointed critiques from within the government apparatus.
