Israelis across the political spectrum reacted with sharp criticism Monday to a newly announced peace agreement between the United States and Iran, viewing it as a dangerous concession that leaves Tehran’s regional influence largely intact.
According to a report from The Washington Post, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not issue an immediate statement on the deal. However, many of his supporters and critics alike expressed deep skepticism, warning that the agreement fails to neutralize the long-term threat posed by Iran.
The mood in Israel was one of alarm as citizens awoke to news of the pact, which aims to end recent fighting and includes provisions such as reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Descriptions of the deal ranged from a “catastrophe” to a “bad deal” that “throws a lifeline to the murderous regime in Tehran.”
In the press and on social media, voices from across Israeli society voiced concerns that the agreement would allow Iran to regroup while leaving its proxy networks, particularly Hezbollah in Lebanon, operational. Israeli officials and commentators stressed that the country’s military campaign against Hezbollah would continue despite the U.S.-Iran understanding.
The deal comes amid heightened tensions following recent Israeli strikes, including one in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday. President Donald Trump had publicly pushed for calm and progress toward the agreement, but the Israeli response highlights ongoing divisions over how to address Iran’s role in the region.
