Israel Worried About Trump’s Bad Deal With Iran

Even before the details were released of the Memorandum of Understanding that President Trump negotiated with Iran and that was announced on Sunday, the verdict in Israel and among Israel’s supporters across the political spectrum was immediate, unanimous, and deeply disturbing: It is a very bad deal, and clearly endangers Israel’s national security.

Rather than bringing a new era of peace to the Middle East as President Trump had promised to do, the reported concessions to their demands in the new deal are likely to further embolden the new hardline leaders of Iran and make them even more recklessly aggressive. After a period of recovery from the damage that it suffered during the 40-days of bombardment by the U.S. and Israel, Iran will pose a renewed threat not only to Israel but also to Iran’s Persian Gulf neighbors and the other states across the Middle East, which are now well within the range of its drones and ballistic missiles, and which Iran has already attacked.

By agreeing to a deal that achieved none of the four original aims for which the U.S. and Israel jointly went to war against Iran, President Trump sold out both Israel and his partner in the original attack on Iran, Prime Minister Netanyahu. By failing to require Iran to give up its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, and end its support and protection of Hezbollah and its other terrorist proxies, Trump’s ignominious surrender to Iran’s demands endangers Israel’s long-term survival, and has made yet another war with Iran in the years ahead inevitable.
