Trump and Netanyahu Tensions Peak as Israel Privately Resists Parts of Iran Ceasefire Deal
The Hill—Relations between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reached a new low, with Netanyahu privately objecting to elements of the US-brokered Iran ceasefire while publicly defending it against domestic critics in Israel. Netanyahu has told allies he views key provisions of the deal as a concession to Tehran, creating friction with Trump who is eager to declare victory. Israeli right-wing politicians have openly condemned the agreement, forcing Netanyahu into an awkward public defense.
