The emerging agreement between the United States and Iran to permanently end the war has been met with scepticism and growing alarm in Israel.
Reports over the weekend said the deal centres on a memorandum of understanding establishing a preliminary 60-day ceasefire, which reportedly does not address Iran’s nuclear programme.
The initial framework is also said to include ending wars “on all fronts”, including Lebanon.
The reported terms have drawn criticism from US Democrats, hawkish Republicans and Israeli commentators alike.
Amid mounting backlash, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he had agreed with US President Donald Trump that “any final agreement with Iran must eliminate the nuclear threat”.
