JTA: Netanyahu under fire over Trump’s Iran deal
Netanyahu under fire over Trump’s Iran deal
Israeli politicians on the right and left say the agreement leaves the country in danger even as Jerusalem declares its hands won’t be tied on Hezbollah.
Israel threatened on Monday to retaliate against any Iranian strikes in the aftermath of U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement Sunday that a deal had been struck that would end hostilities between Washington and Tehran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“If Iran attacks Israel due to events in Lebanon — we will strike it with full force and make the power gap between us abundantly clear,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement to the media on Monday.
The U.S.-Iranian Memorandum of Understanding set to be signed in Geneva on Friday is also expected to end “military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” according to a post on X by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who has played a key mediating role in the talks.
But whether that intention is fulfilled remains to be seen. Israel was not a party to Sunday’s agreement, which it fears will strengthen Iran and Hezbollah and fail to eliminate Tehran’s nuclear program. The deal was widely attacked across the Israeli political spectrum on Monday, including by some members of the current governing coalition, while Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stayed silent in the hours after the deal was announced.
In a statement to the media, Katz insisted that Israel had no intention of withdrawing its troops from southern Lebanon, where low-level fighting continued on Monday.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clarified this to U.S. President Trump and other senior American officials, and I also made this clear yesterday to U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth,” Katz said.
Israel’s policy is to keep the IDF indefinitely in the security zones it’s established in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza in order to protect communities along the Israeli border, Katz added.
While the details of Sunday’s Memorandum of Understanding have not yet been publicly announced, it is expected to extend the shaky ceasefire of April 8 between Iran and the U.S. for 60 days, during which time the countries will negotiate a broader agreement addressing Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump told The New York Times on Sunday that he would renew military strikes on Iran if a nuclear agreement is not finalized.
The deal was widely attacked in Israel after its annoucement. Netanyahu, who is set to seek re-election in the fall, had hoped to secure a military victory that would prevent a nuclear Iran and bring about the fall of the Islamic Regime.
Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who is one of Netanyahu’s governing partners but is not part of the prime minister’s Likud Party and often strays from the coalition’s official line, warned that it was “bad for Israel and the entire free world.”
He added on X, “We will have to continue the campaign to overthrow the regime ourselves and in creative ways and ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon.”
Opposition Leader Yair Lapid said the deal was a sign of failed leadership.
“Netanyahu lost the war. Netanyahu failed to deliver the goods – he collapsed when the moment of truth hit,” Lapid said when speaking to his Yesh Atid party’s faction meeting at the Knesset on Monday.
“There has never been a more complete failure than Netanyahu’s diplomatic failure in the Iranian arena,” he said.
The deal also puts Netanyahu at odds with Trump, particularly with regard to Lebanon.
Tehran had linked reaching a Memorandum of Understanding with Washington with Israeli activity in Lebanon, warning that it would retaliate for any Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Beirut.
On Sunday, Israel launched strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut in response to an attack on Israel, prompting Iran to vow retaliation and drawing a sharp rebuke from Trump, who said the strikes had “delayed the signing by a few hours.”
“Why did Bibi have to do a f–cking attack? I was so pissed off. I let him know. He has no fucking judgement. I let him know that,” Trump told Axios Sunday.
What a day for fake peace, for to calm the world economy. US proxy of Israel run by Bibi’s bitch, talks his reptilian mouth tongue flickering like a snake and a la Nixon, He could throw out his arms with V for victory, whatever that means. It means I WON. GIve me a Nobel, carve my beautiful head into Mt. Rushmore and give me another billion.
The only sure thing right now is that Israel suffered a huge loss, maybe enough to drain Jews out of the Jewish State, invite a coup d’grace from Iran and world wide pogroms against the Jews. Prey for the Jews. Samson Option could only mean one thing, the Absolute End of Zionism and Israel. So be it. World without End, except The Jews, ended.
Keep in mind, you could get off the plane in Tel Aviv, go into the most hipster cafe, find the most drealocked, patchouli-smellinw Jewish young kid in there, and ask them, and 90% chance their answer to “the Arab question” would be “KILL THEM ALL!!”.
PEDOnald has recently boasted that he has a 99% approval rate in the failing colonial project “israel” and of course it’s bluster; the rate’s only something like 95%.
Gas was under $3 a gallon local and Hormuz was open prior to 2-28-26.
Iran wasn’t attacking any one or trying to expand borders.
Has anyone else noticed that as soon as White House seems to do something that Israel is not happy with, like the current supposed “deal” between Iran and White House, the wealthy Western media start putting out stories of possible new Epstein revelations and how Trump is getting concerned about the possible new revelations? It’s as if MOSSAD agents are trying to regain control of Trump by threatening to release evidence of Trump engaging in illegal sexual activities organized by Epstein.
This pattern always happens – Trump apparently does something Israel does not like, and then the wealthy Western media immediately start putting out stories of new Epstein evidence. My opinion is already known here – I speculate Trump is indeed being blackmailed based on his illegal sexual activities with females under the age of eighteen, set up by Epstein.
I am scientifically fascinated by the genetics of Gentile brains. I turned on my Microsoft browser, and immediately the homepage had a bunch of stories from Jewish owned media such as CBS, Fox News, NBC, New York Times, etc. all fabricating stories about White House and Iran “deal.” After several hundred years, the Gentiles are still not genetically capable of coming to the understanding that all the highly funded media are owned by the Jewish people, and that they fabricate everything. So, let’s say that Fox News, CBS, and New York Times decided to collaborate and write a story that Iran/China/Russia/North Korea have a government owned company that goes around the world kidnapping Christian and Jewish children so that they could be baked and then eaten during dinner, all the Gentiles in USA will automatically believe the story. There is only one explanation for this – extreme dysgenics. How “sad” is it that whenever I want to try to come closer to the truth, I am forced to look at Chinese and Iranian media sources, and sometimes Russian sources, though most of Russian media is also fraudulent, curtesy of Putin. Of course, I have mainly four Western sources as well – Unz Review, Occidental Observer, Emil Kirkegaard website, and Michael Woodley of Menie research sources.
Anyway, here is an RT news story saying that the White House / Iran deal is a fraud: Rt.c*m/news/641666-calm-in-hormuz-could-be-brief/
European Nationalists still a dream of the 1.2 billion Europeans in the world uniting to bring forth a European nationalist eugenics transhumanist paradice, but Europeans are so dysgenically deteriorated that they can’t even perceive the most cognitively simple things, such as the extremely conspicuous attempt of their Jewish government to ban honest speech: Rt.c*m/news/641680-starmer-social-ban-police-state/
And, Putin is such a genetic sociopath that Belarus has now accused him of making deals with the Jewish people in exchange for gold: Rt.c*m/russia/641650-jewish-lobby-deceived-putin-lukashenko/
And we have this ongoing issue with Nigel Farage. He is doing just what Trump did – talking about helping ethic Europeans, when in reality, he works directly for the Israeli Likuds, trying to get Europeans to elect him for President, after which he will 100% abandon all pro-European policies and redirect all of UK’s resources to helping Israel: Rt.c*m/news/641674-nigel-farage-white-brits/
Putin is upset that Sweden is going to strengthen their nation by removing all the illegal aliens: Rt.c*m/news/641678-sweden-illegal-migrant-snitch-law/ Sorry Putin, but if you want to “win” the war, well, you can’t. You started the war on the bluff that you would destroy West and Russia with a massive nuclear exchange, sending all of West of Russia back to G-d to face Judgement. But, West called your bluff, and now Russia is “screwed.” Russia can’t win on Earth, but Russia CAN win in the After-Life by exchanging all their nukes with Western nukes. After everyone dies and faces G-d, the Russians will all be granted entrance into Heaven, while the Westerners will not.
Iran has just now stated that if Israel does not stop attacking Lebanon, they will launch a massive attack on Israel: https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/06/16/770583/Iran-warns-harsh-response-Israel-violates-ceasefire-Lebanon
Here is just my opinion/hypothesis – there is no way Iran/Lebanon/Palestine can win. So, why not Iran make a deal with Israel that it will transport the entire remaining living Palestinian population to Iran, as well as everyone in Southern Lebanon. Israel can incorporate the Palestinian land and Southern Lebanon into Israel. Iran can then order Hezbollah to disband. The remaining Lebanon will then sign the Abraham Accords, and become just like UAE and Saudi Arabia, serving as a vassal nation of the Jewish people. Of course, Israel desires to slowly expand throughout Middle East. So, Lebanon and the rest of the Middle East can come to an agreement to slowly allow Israel to expand in a non-violent, humane, and organized way. As Orthodox Jewish people grow in numbers, they can slowly take ownership of Arab lands, while slowly, peacefully, and humanely relocating Arabs eastward, providing them with housing, food, water, etc. in a controlled way. The Arabs will have to of course stop reproducing, since their lands will slowly become less and less in volume. So, this way, the Israeli takeover of the entire Middle East can be painless, humane, and without Arab suffering. Eventually, Israel’s border with directly touch Iran.
