Times of Israel founding editor David Horovitz, in a daily briefing, examines President Trump's mixed messaging and shifting interests on the Iran deal, its implications for Hezbollah and Lebanon, and the 'delusional dreams of peace and prizes' fueling the administration's approach, according to the Times of Israel's own post.
Times of Israel founding editor David Horovitz published a daily briefing on June 25, analyzing what he characterizes as President Trump's 'delusional dreams of peace and prizes' in the context of the emerging US-Iran deal. Horovitz examines the president's mixed messaging and shifting interests regarding Iran, Hezbollah, and Lebanon, and also discusses the results of New York City's Democratic primaries.
The briefing comes amid a series of analyses in The Zioneer's prior coverage. On June 22, The Zioneer reported that Lebanese figures expressed disappointment with Trump over the Iran deal, arguing it strengthens Hezbollah. On June 18, analysts were cited assessing that Iran sees the deal as leverage, not capitulation. Horovitz's piece adds an editorial perspective from a veteran Israeli journalist, framing the administration's approach as disconnected from regional realities — particularly regarding Hezbollah's entrenchment in Lebanon.
