Anger and disappointment broke out in Israel on Monday morning after mediator Pakistan announced late on Sunday that the US and Iran had reached a peace agreement.
"We are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED," Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on his X account.
Sharif, who assumed the role of the mediator between the US and Iran after the joint Israeli-US war on Iran started in February, added that the agreement included an "immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon".
According to Sharif, who thanked Israel's adversaries, Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, for their part in the negotiations, the agreement will be signed on Friday in Switzerland.
Shortly after Pakistan's announcement, both the US and Iran confirmed the agreement, with President Donald Trump saying the deal was "complete" and Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi saying a final agreement was due to be signed within 60 days.
