A senior Israeli official said Monday that the emerging US-Iran agreement is 'shocking' for Israel, adding that no one in the top echelon — from the prime minister to the IDF chief of staff — thinks otherwise, according to Israeli media.
A senior Israeli official expressed sharp criticism of the emerging US-Iran agreement on Monday, describing it as 'shocking for Israel' in remarks reported by Israeli media. The official stressed that the consensus within Israel's top leadership — including the prime minister and the IDF chief of staff — is uniformly opposed to the deal's terms. The comment adds to a growing chorus of Israeli political and security figures who have condemned the diplomatic framework being negotiated between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, opposition leaders Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eisenkot also attacked the emerging agreement, with Bennett calling it a 'dangerous turn for Israel's security.' The latest remarks, attributed to an unnamed official from within the government, suggest that unease over the deal extends beyond the opposition and into the decision-making circles themselves. No official response from the Prime Minister's Office has been issued as of late Monday afternoon.
