Israeli officials respond to Trump’s attack on Netanyahu by stating they are “surprised” by the U.S. president’s tone, expressing serious reservations about the content of the agreement between the U.S. and Iran.
According to information from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s inner circle, “Israeli officials have been surprised by President Donald Trump toward Prime Minister Netanyahu.” Meanwhile, a senior official described it as a “resounding slap in the face.”
According to the same reports, Donald Trump also proposed the withdrawal of Israel from southern Lebanon as part of a broader agreement with Iran, an idea that Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly rejected outright.
In any case, Jerusalem’s main concern is that “a potential agreement between the U.S. and Iran could severely limit Israel’s freedom of action in Lebanon.” Meanwhile, Israeli officials are already aware of a “serious possibility” of a missile attack from Iran in the coming hours.
