JERUSALEM, Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu believed that fighting a war together with Donald Trump would bring down Iran's religious leadership and strengthen his position before elections, but instead, he is now heading toward a clash with Trump, who wants to pull the U.S. out of the war.
Neither of their goals has been achieved, and Israeli forces are still tied up in Lebanon.
For now, Israeli officials are speaking carefully in public so they don't upset their most important ally, who is known to react strongly to criticism. But privately, they are clearly frustrated. One senior Israeli official said the early deal is "terrible for Israel," and added that everyone in the leadership, from the prime minister to the army chief, feels the same way.
The U.S. says that during a 60-day ceasefire, it will work out a full agreement that addresses concerns, especially about Iran's nuclear program. However, Israeli officials believe these talks could drag on, limiting Israel's ability to act militarily while its concerns remain unresolved.
Netanyahu and Trump have also argued over Israel's refusal to limit its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, which Iran w…

Tel Aviv, Israel; and Washington
With a new war with Iran in its second week, and Israeli political and military leaders counseling patience among Israelis, what the government’s actual war aims are and whether they are attainable remain elusive.
In contrast with President Donald Trump’s zig-zagging on exactly why he decided to send the United States to war against Iran alongside Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s messaging has remained fixated on regime change in Iran since Day 1.
The U.S.-Israeli attack “will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people [to] rid themselves of the yoke of tyranny,” Mr. Netanyahu declared at the war’s outset. On Tuesday, he addressed Iranians directly on X, urging them: “Be ready to seize the moment…

The Islamic Republic of Iran said it would stop its negotiations with the U.S. unless Israel stopped fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon. U.S. President Donald Trump, who claims he has all the time in the world to negotiate, is in fact desperate to reach an agreement with Iran that will lead to a resumption of ship traffic through the strait of Hormuz, which the President hopes will lead to a steep drop in the price of oil, and hence of gasoline at the pump, just in time to affect the midterm elections. So Trump, eager to win Tehran’s favor by saving its proxy Hezbollah from the IDF — that has just launched its deepest assault into Lebanon in the last 25 years — has just given his marching, or rather unmarching orders, to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding that he call off the IDF’s assault on Beirut. More on Trump’s demand, and Netanyahu’s response, can be found here: “Trump declares Lebanon ceasefire, calls off IDF strike…

Benjamin Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades perfecting the art of the political escape. Just when his career appears to be buried under the weight of indictments, or his coalition fatally fractured, he reappears, seemingly unscathed, with a new lease on power. Today, as Israel finds itself locked in a multifront war with Iran and its proxies, Netanyahu is once again attempting his favorite trick: transmuting a national existential crisis into a personal political lifeline.
Take the prime minister’s perennial quest to call off his corruption trial. Netanyahu has been in the dock for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust since 2020. During that time, he has attempted to
intimidate
and
disempower
Israel’s judiciary and pressured Isaac Herzog, the country’s president, to
grant him a pardon
. Last week, thanks to the Iran war, that push got some backup from none other than Donald Trump. “I don’t want anything on Bibi’s mind other than fighting against Iran,” the U.S. president

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israelis from across the political spectrum reacted angrily Monday to the news of aninitial deal between the U.S. and Iran, calling it a disaster for Israel and directing their fury at one man: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli leader said at a news conference Monday that “with an agreement, without an agreement,” he would continue fighting to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, which Tehran has long maintained it isn’t trying to do, sayingits nuclear programis for civilian purposes.

Iran war 'has been a strategic disaster for the State of Israel', analyst says
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on a collision course with Donald Trump as the U.S. president seeks to extricate himself from the war, with both men's goals unmet and Israeli military operations tied down in Lebanon. Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Aaron David Miller, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, says that "this has been a strategic disaster for the state of Israel. All of Benjamin Netanyahu's war aims - diminished support for proxies, restrictions on ballistic missiles, overthrow of the regime, or weakening of the regime - none of this has occurred."
So Netanyahu/Israel did that thing where he undermines/trashes a possible peace/extended ceasefire framework.

'Failure': Israel reacts with alarm as emerging US-Iran deal draws ...
The emerging agreement between the
United States
and
Iran
to permanently end the war has been met with scepticism and growing alarm in
Israel
.
Reports over the weekend said the deal centres on a memorandum of understanding establishing a preliminary 60-day ceasefire, which reportedly does not address Iran’s nuclear programme.
The initial framework is also said to include ending wars “on all fronts”, including Lebanon.
The reported terms have drawn criticism from US Democrats,
hawkish Republicans
and Israeli commentators alike.
Amid mounting backlash, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he had agreed with US President Donald Trump that “any final agreement with Iran must eliminate the nuclear threat”.

Trump's Iran deal leaves Netanyahu isolated at home and abroad
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu found himself increasingly isolated on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump formally signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran, a deal that many Israeli officials reportedly view as a strategic setback and one that could force Tel Aviv to halt military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, reported Axios.
While Trump hailed the agreement as a pathway to ending months of conflict in West Asia, Netanyahu remained publicly silent. The deal comes just four months before Israel’s general election and threatens to undermine Netanyahu’s long-standing promise of achieving “total victory” against Iran and its regional allies.
Despite criticism,Axios reported that Netanyahu remains deeply sceptical of the deal and believes the conflict should have continued.The United Arab Emirates, known for its hawkish stance, has joined the consensus amongst other Gulf nations supporting the deal. In Washington, the GOP and media refuse to criticise the agreement. Netanyahu is unable to publicly oppose the accord without risking a direct fight with Trump.

Who’s calling the shots? Netanyahu and Trump at odds over their war
Israel’s latest strikes on Lebanon and Iran have made clear that US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who started the war in lockstep, want different things.
Trump had publicly warned Israel not to strike Beirut in its war with Iran-backed Hezbollah militants. When it did, on Sunday, Iran responded by firing ballistic missiles at Israel for the first time since the April ceasefire. Israel then struck Iran, with which Trump has been engaged in weeks of...

In 2019, Benjamin Netanyahu draped buildings with giant banners that depicted him shaking hands with a grinning Donald Trump. Captioned with the words
Another League
, the posters presented Netanyahu’s ties with the American president as an argument for the Israeli prime minister’s reelection. No one else, Netanyahu’s campaign implied, could deliver the mercurial man in the White House.
That was then. Today, Netanyahu’s boast has boomeranged, transformed from an electoral asset into an advertisement of his diminished influence. In June alone, Trump has labeled him “
fucking crazy
” and said that he has “
no fucking judgment
.” The reprimands have gone beyond rhetoric. According to Israeli and American reports, over the past week, the president
forced
Israel to abort imminent retaliatory strikes on Iran and
demanded
that the country restrict its response to Hezbollah fire from Lebanon that has pummeled the Israeli north. Trump also reportedly
denied
Israel’s request to view the memorandum of understanding that his administration negotiated with Iran until it was already a fait accompli. De…

JERUSALEM, Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu believed that fighting a war together with Donald Trump would bring down Iran's religious leadership and strengthen his position before elections, but instead, he is now heading toward a clash with Trump, who wants to pull the U.S. out of the war.
Neither of their goals has been achieved, and Israeli forces are still tied up in Lebanon.
For now, Israeli officials are speaking carefully in public so they don't upset their most important ally, who is known to react strongly to criticism. But privately, they are clearly frustrated.

Inside Trump and Netanyahu's Complicated Relationship
Inside Trump and Netanyahu's Complicated Relationship
The frequent calls aren’t so friendly anymore.
As President Trump was trying to broker a permanent end to his war in Iran that has weighed on the U.S. economy and kept gas prices above $4 a gallon, he had choice words for the partner that urged him into it.
“Why are you blowing up buildings?” Trump asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a recent phone call about Lebanon, people familiar with the call said. “Stop blowing up buildings.” In another, he complained that a global downturn sparked by the war could tie him to Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression of the 1930s, the people said.
Trump’s frustration with Netanyahu has boiled over at times in recent weeks as he has tried to end the war with Iran and the Israeli prime minister has sought to keep up the fight. The relationship has major ramifications for a region on the cusp of a potential peace deal, whose future could be undone by further military attacks by Israel.
In a memorandum of understanding, Tehran agreed to a trade: Iran fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. ending its blockade and allowing Tehran to sell its oil on the mark…

How does the Iran war end? US and Israeli leaders at odds over priorities
How does the Iran war end? US and Israeli leaders at odds over priorities
After weeks of US President Donald Trump insisting that a deal with Iran is just around the corner, violence has flared up again. Part of the challenge for Trump is that he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu no longer have the same priorities. Washington wants an out from a war that's roiling oil markets and is increasingly unpopular at home. But Netanyahu faces elections by the end of October and has a criminal investigation hanging over him. His political survival is once again at the heart of his geo-strategic calculations. We take a closer look and get expert analysis in this edition.

Analysis: Netanyahu and Trump on collision course as US, Iran agree to halt war
Benjamin Netanyahu bet that his joint war alongside US President Donald Trump would topple Iran’s clerical rulers and bolster himself ahead of elections at home, as the architect of a US-Israeli alliance that would reshape the Middle East.Instead, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister is on a collision course with Trump as the US president seeks to extricate himself from the war, with both men’s goals unmet and Israeli military operations tied down in Lebanon.For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.For now, Israeli officials have been cautious in public for fear of angering their most important ally, known for being prickly towards critics.But in private conversations, the frustration is clear.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israelis from across the political spectrum reacted angrily Monday to the news of an
initial deal between the U.S. and Iran
, calling it a disaster for Israel and directing their fury at one man: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As of early Monday evening, Netanyahu had yet to release a statement about the deal between the U.S. and Iran that extend their tenuous ceasefire and lead to the reopening of the
Strait of Hormuz
. But other Israeli government officials, rivals, politicians and commentators were quick to criticize the deal, marking a sort of informal referendum on the premier's tenure
ahead of elections this fall

They have also underscored Netanyahu's deepening isolation — at home, in the region and, increasingly, from the United S…

“He won’t have any choice,” Trump told the Financial Times in an interview. “I call the shots. I call all the shots. He doesn’t call the shots.”
His remarks came hours afterIran fired ballistic missiles towards Israel, marking a major escalation since a ceasefire in April.
Trump said the Iranian strikes would not affect ongoingnegotiations between the US and Iran.
“It’s not going to have any impact on the deal,” he told the FT, adding that the agreement would succeed or fail on its “own merit”.
“The deal may make it on its own merit, or not, but this will not have any effect on it,” he said.
However, he signalled less certainty about the timeline of an agreement. “I think the deal is going on. We’ll see what happens,” he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told President Donald Trump
last year
that he was the “greatest friend Israel ever had in the White House."
Now, as Trump tries to finalize a deal to end the war with Iran, he's unloading on Netanyahu with rhetoric that no other American leader has dared to use publicly.
He claimed credit for Israel's existence — “without me, there would be no Israel” — and cursed his judgment in interviews. He even described him as
“crazy.”
Netanyahu’s tenure as prime minister spans four U.S. presidents, and he's frustrated all of them at one point or another. But none has voiced that as openly as Trump, who started the conflict
in tandem with Netanyahu.
The tension comes as Trump criticizes recent Israeli attacks in Lebanon, which threatened to jeopardize negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Trump has been pushing for a deal as he faces political blowback at home, where the war is unpopular and has driven up gasoline prices.
“If Netanyahu gets in between something Trump real…

The Israeli government’s absence in the negotiations leading up to the MOU has become a perilous hindrance for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces career-defining elections before the end of October. The deal framework was provided to NBC News by a senior U.S. official later on Wednesday.

Bottom Line up Front
U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to pursue diplomacy instead of attacking Iran’s regime in the wake of themajor uprisingthere has sharpened differences between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on major regional issues.Because Netanyahu asserts the right to undertake military action in the region even without specific U.S. approval, U.S. officials assess that they must take Netanyahu’s perspectives into account in formulating strategic policy in the region — and particularly on Iran. The consequences of U.S.-Israeli differences for the region can be stark: in 2025, the U.S. and Iran held five rounds of talks to forge a new nuclear accord, but on the eve of a sixth round, Israel launched a major air campaign against Iran (Operation Rising Lion) that derailed the U.S.-Iran diplomacy. Viewing the Israeli strikes as an opportunity to disable Iran’s nuclear program militarily, and facing perceived Iranian intransigence at the negotiating table, Trump joined the Israeli effort. He ordered Operation Mi…

Netanyahu is working behind the scenes to derail the Iran deal - report ...
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to alter the US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) through back-channel pressure on President Donald Trump, enlisting right-wing media figures and pro-Israel senators to push back on the agreement,
CNN
reported on Thursday.
According to an Israeli source, Netanyahu remains deeply skeptical of Iran's intentions throughout the talks, believing Tehran was never negotiating in good faith, and still assesses there will be no final deal between Washington and Tehran.
With Trump having signed the MoU and triggered a 60-day negotiation window, Netanyahu is now trying to leverage allies in the American media landscape to amplify his message, including pro-Israel podcaster Mark Levin, who said this week that the deal "doesn't make any sense" and called the proposed $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran a "slush fund."
On the political front, Netanyahu is also leaning on pro-Israel senators to press Trump. However, that avenue appears to be narrowing. Senator Lindsey Graham, who had previously pushed for more aggressive strikes on Iran, reversed course this week, s…

Tel Aviv, Israel
An official warming of ties and cooperation is on the horizon for Israelis and Syrians after only ever knowing one another as bitter foes.
But the evolving connection is a complicated one – pushed aggressively by Washington while still questioned by some in Israel.
Despite reports that Israeli and Syrian representatives might soon meet face to face, possibly in Paris, to finalize a security and cooperation agreement, getting them there is a tricky dance.
Why We Wrote This
President Donald Trump is pushing hard for a security deal between longtime U.S. ally Israel and emerging partner Syria. But suspicions about President Ahmed al-Sharaa and concerns over the status of Syrian Kurds and Druze are giving many Israelis pause.

JERUSALEM, Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu believed that fighting a war together with Donald Trump would bring down Iran's religious leadership and strengthen his position before elections, but instead, he is now heading toward a clash with Trump, who wants to pull the U.S. out of the war.
Neither of their goals has been achieved, and Israeli forces are still tied up in Lebanon.
For now, Israeli officials are speaking carefully in public so they don't upset their most important ally, who is known to react strongly to criticism. But privately, they are clearly frustrated. One senior Israeli official said the early deal is "terrible for Israel," and added that everyone in the leadership, from the prime minister to the army chief, feels the same way.
The U.S. says that during a 60-day ceasefire, it will work out a full agreement that addresses concerns, especially about Iran's nuclear program. However, Israeli officials believe these talks could drag on, limiting Israel's ability to act militarily while its concerns remain unresolved.

On Global News Today on Al Arabiya English, Tom Burges Watson covers reports of growing tensions between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu as efforts to secure a peace agreement in the Iran conflict face new challenges.According to reports, Trump voiced frustration over Israel’s military escalation in Lebanon amid concerns that renewed fighting could undermine negotiations with Iran and complicate wider diplomatic efforts across the region.As ceasefire talks remain fragile and the conflict threatens to expand, questions are growing over the future of US-Israeli coordination and the prospects for a broader Middle East settlement.Tom Burges Watson speaks to:Hady AmrFormer Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israeli and Palestinian Affairs

WASHINGTON—Despite close coordination between US and Israeli leaders and their militaries from the earliest days of the Iran war, the two countries’ interests and objectives, and their leaders’ political priorities and constraints, have increasingly diverged. The once-modest gap between them has opened into a chasm that will not be easily bridged.
Moreover, the chasm is widening along several different fissures:
Whether to end the war
When the war began, each side undoubtedly harbored hope that the Iranian regime would collapse. But when it became clear that the regime could endure significant military blows and inflict painful retaliation against US military and Gulf state infrastructure targets, US President Donald Trump understood that enough was enough and has been searching for an off-ramp ever since. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, operates according to the post-October 7 Israe…

Iran and Israel have traded fire in the most serious direct exchange since an April ceasefire in the U.S.-led war against the regime in Tehran, a resurrection of hostilities that threatens to collapse President Donald Trump’s dealmaking.
"Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting,’" Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday morning.
Trump had already urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to retaliate immediately for Tehran’s missile attack, seeking to preserve the fragile diplomacy he says is nearing its conclusion.
But Israel struck
central and western Iran anyway.

(
JTA
) — In 2018, as President Barack Obama struck a deal with Iran to constrain its nuclear production, American Jewish groups were divided: Those on the right excoriated the deal, saying it left Iran a major threat to Israel, while those on the left were more supportive.
This time around, as President Donald Trump has announced a new deal with Iran after months of war that the United States fought jointly with Israel, American Jewish groups are more unified: They aren’t happy.
On the right and the left, Jewish groups are expressing concerns about the deal that Trump and Iran announced on Sunday night, even as its terms have not yet officially come into focus.
Trump has emphasized that the deal reopens the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed after the war began on Feb. 28.

Iran war 'has been a strategic disaster for the State of Israel', analyst says
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on a collision course with Donald Trump as the U.S. president seeks to extricate himself from the war, with both men's goals unmet and Israeli military operations tied down in Lebanon. Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Aaron David Miller, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, says that "this has been a strategic disaster for the state of Israel. All of Benjamin Netanyahu's war aims - diminished support for proxies, restrictions on ballistic missiles, overthrow of the regime, or weakening of the regime - none of this has occurred."

<p>WASHINGTON: The US-Iran <a href="https://www.dawn.com/news/2007972/us-iran-reach-preliminary-agreement-to-end-war-signing-set-for-friday">agreement</a> has placed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in one of the most difficult political positions of his career, leaving him squeezed between Washington, Tehran, domestic critics, and an approaching election.</p>
<p>For decades, Netanyahu built his political identity around three interconnected themes: his ability to influence United States policy, his determination to confront Iran, and his reputation as Israel’s ultimate guarantor of security. The emerging agreement has now raised questions about all three.</p>
<p>The deal leaves unresolved several issues Israel has long regarded as vital, including Iran’s ballistic missile <a href="https://www.dawn.com/news/1975618">programme</a>, its support for regional allies such as <a href="https://www.dawn.com/news/amp/2008091">Hezbollah</a>, and key aspects of its nuclear activities. At the same time, sanctions relief could provide Tehran with significant economic breathing room.</p>

The clock is ticking on the Iran peace deal. A memorandum of understanding between Iran and the US is due to be signed in Geneva on June 19, allowing for a 60-day ceasefire extension and the opening of the strategically vital waterway, the Strait of Hormuz. But key questions remain unresolved that could yet scupper the agreement.
For Washington and Tehran, the memorandum also includes Lebanon. Iran has made the signing of the deal contingent on an
Israeli undertaking to withdraw
from the territories it has occupied in southern Lebanon during the
war
. And the US president, Donald Trump, has demanded that the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, behave “more responsibly in Lebanon”.
But Israel’s bombing of south Lebanon and Beirut

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told President Donald Trumplast yearthat he was the “greatest friend Israel ever had in the White House.”
Now, as Trump tries to finalize a deal to end the war with Iran, he’s unloading on Netanyahu with rhetoric that no other American leader has dared to use publicly.
He claimed credit for Israel’s existence — “without me, there would be no Israel” — and cursed his judgment in interviews. He even described him as“crazy.”
Netanyahu’s tenure as prime minister spans four U.S. presidents, and he’s frustrated all of them at one point or another. But none has voiced that as openly as Trump, who started the conflictin tandem with Netanyahu.

Despite tension over war flare-up, fallout between Trump and Netanyahu unlikely
Israel and Iran exchanged fire for the first time since the start of the truce on June 7, despite US President Donald Trump repeatedly warning Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu against launching strikes on Iran. Could that be the first sign of a fallout between the two leaders? FRANCE 24's Angela Diffley tells us more.
Why Trump’s draft peace pact with Iran threatens Netanyahu’s Middle East plans
Why Trump’s draft peace pact with Iran threatens Netanyahu’s Middle East plans
For decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has preached a mantra of peace and stability in the Middle East through the destruction of Iran’s Islamic Republic.
The obliteration of the ayatollahs, he prophesied, would lead to the normalisation of relations between Israel and the wider Arab-Islamic world – with Israel emerging as the Middle East’s dominant power and indispensable security provider.
But on Saturday, Netanyahu’s dreams looked set to be dashed, after US President Donald...

JERUSALEM, Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu believed that fighting a war together with Donald Trump would bring down Iran's religious leadership and strengthen his position before elections, but instead, he is now heading toward a clash with Trump, who wants to pull the U.S. out of the war.
Neither of their goals has been achieved, and Israeli forces are still tied up in Lebanon.
For now, Israeli officials are speaking carefully in public so they don't upset their most important ally, who is known to react strongly to criticism. But privately, they are clearly frustrated. One senior Israeli official said the early deal is "terrible for Israel," and added that everyone in the leadership, from the prime minister to the army chief, feels the same way.
The U.S. says that during a 60-day ceasefire, it will work out a full agreement that addresses concerns, especially about Iran's nuclear program. However, Israeli officials believe these talks could drag on, limiting Israel's ability to act militarily while its concerns remain unresolved.
Netanyahu and Trump have also argued over Israel's refusal to limit its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, which Iran w…

After a breakthrough, long-term challenges remain for lasting peace ...
President Donald Trump and leaders across the Middle East are celebrating the long-awaited diplomatic agreement aimed at putting a permanent end to the fighting in Gaza, but officials and analysts tell ABC News there is still a long road ahead when it comes to ensuring that peace will be lasting.
Trump announced on Wednesday that a deal had been reached to free all living and dead hostages in Gaza taken on Oct. 7, 2023, in exchange for the release of scores of Palestinian prisoners and a partial withdrawal of Israeli troops from the area.
But the agreement covers just a fraction of the president’s 20-point plan for Gaza, which extends well beyond spelling out the initial steps for ending the two-year-long conflict -- establishing a framework for reconstructing Gaza and building what Trump has described as an "everlasting peace."

Iran and Israel said hostilities between the two countries were to be put on hold, after a flare-up which threatened the already fragile ceasefire in the region. In Israel, the country was put on hold following strikes from Iran and Hezbollah, with anger over Benjamin Netanyahu seemingly taking military orders from Donald Trump.

hen Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at Mar-a-Lago in late December, he had a surprise message for President Trump: Israel would begin weaning itself off U.S. military aid. At first, Trump was taken aback: The billions of dollars that Washington provides Israel each year, after all, have been a bedrock of America’s Middle East strategy for decades, and essential support for its closest regional ally. Trump, ever the wary transactionalist, ribbed the prime minister:
Oh, and what do you get out of it?
By the time the leaders next met, in Washington, D.C., on February 11 to discuss Iran, Trump had come around. Eager to shift the military burden onto others and curtail foreign aid, the president brought up Netanyahu’s proposal, according to an Israeli official who shared previously undisclosed details of the recent discussions.

US President Donald Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, telling aides that the leader has repeatedly defied his wishes by pursuing military operations over negotiations, according to an exclusive report by
The Wall Street Journal.
Trump told his aides that Netanyahu preferred using force to compel Hamas’s surrender instead of accepting the President’s vision of a ceasefire deal. His irritation spiked last week, after
Israel carried out a strike
on Hamas negotiators in Qatar.

night of UFC combat

Hours before it was to be signed, however,
Israeli jets struck Lebanon's capital Beirut

"This morning's attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran," Mr. Trump said in a post on
Truth Social

His call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu soon after was less diplomatic.
"What the f*** are you doing?" he asked his close ally, according to
Fox News' Trey Yingst

"Why did Bibi have to do a f*****g attack?" the President said to
Axios
shortly after. "I was so pissed off. I let him know. He has no f*****g judgement."
It was a remarkable exchange between world leaders whose relationship has vacillated dramatically, and often publicly, over the course of many years.

Why Netanyahu wants to wreck Trump's Iran deal - Middle East Eye
Israeli
prime minister and
indicted
war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu does not adapt to imposed realities.
He tries to
smash
them through brute force, permanent escalation and manufactured crises. Throughout his career, war has been a favoured strategic instrument for preserving Israeli supremacy and his own political survival.
Most recently, his priority is to
prevent
US President Donald Trump from signing a near-complete memorandum of understanding with the Islamic Republic of
Iran
. Should diplomacy prevail, he will
deploy
every political, military, diplomatic, media and lobbying tool to sabotage it.
His obsession with what he
calls
"absolute victory" reflects a rigid doctrine that rejects compromise. No settlement is acceptable to him unless it disarms Hamas and Islamic Jihad in
Gaza
, dismantles
Hezbollah
in
Lebanon
, and ends in the neutralisation or destruction of the Iranian state itself.
His horizon extends well past temporary ceasefires to the end of all resistance and a region restructured around Israeli dominance under American protection.

JERUSALEM, Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu believed that fighting a war together with Donald Trump would bring down Iran's religious leadership and strengthen his position before elections, but instead, he is now heading toward a clash with Trump, who wants to pull the U.S. out of the war.
Neither of their goals has been achieved, and Israeli forces are still tied up in Lebanon.
For now, Israeli officials are speaking carefully in public so they don't upset their most important ally, who is known to react strongly to criticism. But privately, they are clearly frustrated. One senior Israeli official said the early deal is "terrible for Israel," and added that everyone in the leadership, from the prime minister to the army chief, feels the same way.
The U.S. says that during a 60-day ceasefire, it will work out a full agreement that addresses concerns, especially about Iran's nuclear program. However, Israeli officials believe these talks could drag on, limiting Israel's ability to act militarily while its concerns remain unresolved.
Netanyahu and Trump have also argued over Israel's refusal to limit its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, which Iran w…

Was Netanyahu left in the dark over Trump's Iran deal?
Was Netanyahu left in the dark over Trump's Iran deal?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was caught off guard by US President Donald Trump’s decision to call off planned military strikes on Iran and instead pursue a diplomatic understanding with Tehran, Axios reported, revealing what appears to be a growing divide between Washington and Tel Aviv over how the conflict should end.
Axios reported that Netanyahu was left “surprised” by Trump’s announcement that he had cancelled the attacks after receiving indications that Iran’s leadership had approved a draft framework aimed at ending the war. The report further claimed the Israeli leader had not been fully briefed on the state of the US-Iran negotiations and had been seeking information about the talks through allies close to the Trump administration.
A halt in the wars engulfing the Middle East may be closer than ever, as Washington and Tehran prepare to sign a memorandum of understanding, one that could reshape the region. But as the two sides inch toward a deal, Netanyahu’s absence from the negotiation table has raised eyebrows.
According to Axios, the Israeli leader had been calling allies close to the Trump administr…

President Donald Trump, right, and Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, during a news conference in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Monday, Sept. 29, 2025.
It’s a strange moment when the leader of the free world explains to a reporter why he cursed out the prime minister of a major ally.
But we live in an increasingly strange moment, one in which President Donald Trump confirmed to theNew York Postthis week that he had indeed called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “f***ing crazy” during a discussion about Israel’s plans to expand operations in Lebanon, even as he stressed that he and the Israeli leader have “worked very well together.” (Trump’s confirmation came after Netanyahu’s officedeniedthe remarks.)

Summary
Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran leaves Netanyahu in an awkward political position ahead of October elections.
