US EditionIsraeli leaders lash out over ceasefire, split on who’s to blame
Lapid said the truce sidelined Israel and left key war goals unmet, as officials said Iran still has 440 kg of enriched uranium.
- On Wednesday, the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, prompting Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid to denounce the deal as a 'political disaster' that sidelined Israel from critical decisions.
- After President Donald Trump threatened destruction, Iran consented to negotiations in Pakistan; critics argue Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to achieve any declared war goals.
- Lapid stated 'Israel was not even at the table' when decisions affecting core national security were made, warning that damage from Netanyahu's 'arrogance' and 'negligence' will take years to repair.
- Netanyahu's office stated Israel supports the U.S. strike suspension but emphasized the ceasefire 'does not include Lebanon,' where Israel continues its offensive against Iran-backed Hezbollah.
- Significant challenges remain: 60% enriched uranium sits on Iranian soil, and unresolved control of the Strait of Hormuz complicates the U.S. pursuit of a permanent arrangement.
