Israel's aggression has finally pushed the US to its limit. The war of words between the administration of US President Donald Trump and the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has entered a new phase. Most recently, Trump's aide JD Vance stated he does not trust any country, including Israel, in the field of international diplomacy.
Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz also responded to the Washington administration with the statement, 'No one can tell us what to do.' AIPAC IGNITES Following these debates, the nation's largest Jewish lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), reacted against the Trump administration over the agreement reached between the US and Iran.
A statement from AIPAC harshly criticized the White House for granting Tehran upfront economic concessions in exchange for opening the Strait of Hormuz, releasing $100 billion in frozen funds, and not making the closure of uranium enrichment facilities a condition.
FEAR OF EMBARGO In response, Trump's core supporters, who embrace the 'America First' motto, have begun targeting Israeli officials, starting with AIPAC. In Israel, the tension with Washington following the agreement has also caused concern over the possibility of it leading to a weapons embargo.
According to the Maariv newspaper, Israel anticipates that Trump will increase pressure to end the occupation in southern Lebanon and on Syria's Mount Hermon following the signing of the agreement with Iran. I WILL GO TO TURKEY US President Donald Trump said he will soon visit Turkey (for the NATO Summit).
IRAN SEEKS GUARANTEES The White House announced that US Vice President JD Vance's trip to Switzerland yesterday for initial technical talks regarding the agreement with Iran has been postponed for now. According to a report by US-based CNN, a diplomat familiar with the matter suggested that Iran is demanding guarantees that the conflict in Lebanon will end before resuming negotiations with the US in Switzerland.
The diplomat, using the statement 'The Iranians demanded guarantees that the conflict in Lebanon will end as stipulated in the signed agreement,' claimed that 'mediators are currently working to resolve this issue.' NEW AGREEMENT CLAIM Despite the US-Iran agreement, Israeli military airstrikes on Lebanon have killed 25 people.
France also called on the US to pressure the Netanyahu government to adhere to a ceasefire in Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated that the occupation in southern Lebanon will continue. A US official claimed that Israel and Hezbollah have reached an agreement.
