The emerging memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, expected to be signed on Friday, has produced a rare moment of consensus in Israel: opposition to the deal came from across the political spectrum.Even before the agreement was made public it was clear that it had not met any of Israel’s war aims. As recently as last week prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu outlined four elements Israel wanted to be included in the deal: removal of enriched uranium; dismantling of enrichment infrastructure; limits on missile production; and an end to Iranian support for regional proxies. None of the four will be included in the agreement.Not only that, but the Iranian regime remains in place, controlled by the hardline revolutionary guards and is about to receive a much-needed financial boost with the expected easing of sanctions and the release of impounded assets.Even more worrying for Israel, in the short term, is the fact that Iran has successfully linked the ceasefire in the Gulf to the Lebanese front and limits will be imposed by Washington on the ability of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to operate against the Iranian-backed Hizbullah, although the exact details are still unclear.Tehran has created a new equation in which any Israeli attack on Beirut will bring an Iranian attack on Israel. Israel was bracing for another Iranian missile strike on Sunday night after attacking Beirut’s Dahiyeh quarter and the security cabinet meeting was moved to an underground bunker, before US president Donald Trump reportedly persuaded the Iranians to call off the strike at the last minute.Sunday’s attack on Beirut (in response to drones landing in northern Israel) led to the second angry phone call between Trump and Netanyahu in a week. Trump told news website Axios that Netanyahu “has no f*****g judgment. I let him know that”.An Israeli military vehicle moves past sheep belonging to Israeli settlers east of the Palestinian village of Beitin, northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, on June 14th.
