Israeli opposition leader Lapid says Trump’s emerging deal with Iran is `bad for the region’
Lapid said the emerging memorandum leaves Israel’s war goals unmet and warned that the deal could ease pressure on Iran’s nuclear program.
- On Monday, opposition leader Yair Lapid said the emerging U.S.-Iran deal framework fails to achieve Israel's war objectives, calling it 'bad for Israel, bad for the region, bad for the citizens of Iran.'
- The emerging memorandum would see Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. lifting its naval blockade, with Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei saying the 14-point framework focuses on ending the war and ensuring safe passage.
- Netanyahu demands that any final agreement dismantle Iran's nuclear enrichment sites and remove enriched material within 60 days of approval, while also insisting Israel retain military rights in Lebanon—a caveat potentially derailing talks.
- Israeli officials said the prime minister privately acknowledged Israel has no maneuver to influence President Donald Trump right now, with Lapid highlighting an all-time low in Washington influence after Trump said 'Netanyahu will do whatever I want him to do.'
- Opposition leaders Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid merged their parties into a single faction to unseat Netanyahu in elections by end of October, refusing to include Arab faction leader Mansour Abbas in a future coalition after nearly three years of wars.
