Netanyahu Admits He and Trump Disagree, Warns Israel’s Threat Persists Despite Iran Deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that he and US President Donald Trump don’t always see eye to eye, but stressed they remain partners. He made the comments after Trump signed a peace agreement with Iran and called his counterpart “a very difficult guy.” The deal reopens the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping and offers potential sanctions relief for Iran in exchange for strict oversight of its nuclear program. A senior US official clarified that Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon was not a condition of the agreement. Netanyahu warned that if Iran cannot control Hezbollah, Israel will retain the right to respond militarily. He said Israel will maintain security zones in southern Lebanon, Gaza and Syria to counter ongoing threats. The announcement sent oil prices tumbling and equity markets higher. Opposition leaders in Israel have criticized the accord as a failure that leaves Iran’s missile infrastructure intact, while the government insists it will protect national security regardless of the Washington-Tehran framework.
