Tension between Washington and Jerusalem: The Trump-Iran agreement sparks a storm
In a series of dramatic reports from June 15, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the signing of an agreement with Iran. According to Yinon Magal, known for his supportive stance on Netanyahu and the right, the agreement includes, in the first stage, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of the naval blockade, and the possibility for Iran to enrich uranium at a low level. Iran and Pakistan, which acted as a mediator, claim that the agreement also includes a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Simultaneously, Trump launched a sharp attack against PM Netanyahu. As reported by Ziv Rubinstein, Trump described Netanyahu as a "very difficult person" and argued that the Prime Minister should be grateful to the U.S., because without its actions, "Israel would not have survived two hours" in the face of the Iranian nuclear threat. Similar messages were distributed by Amit Segal and Israel News Without Censorship.
In Jerusalem, they reacted sharply to the attempt at diplomatic coercion. ynet news reports that Israeli officials clarified in closed talks: "Netanyahu told Trump - Israel will not withdraw from Lebanon". Today's News noted that Netanyahu emphasized to the President that Israel is not committed to the Lebanese clause and will continue to act to protect its security interests against Hezbollah.
Political reactions in Israel were divided. Gadi Taub, who represents a conservative-security line, called on the government not to agree to a ceasefire, "even at the price of a rift with Trump". On the other hand, the GLOBAL ANALYST channel, which presents a critical stance and casts doubt on the motives of those involved, raised questions regarding the mysterious dynamics surrounding the agreement and its implications for Netanyahu's political future.
