Public outrage in Israel mounts over US-Iran interim agreement, with many feeling betrayed by the Trump administration.

The growing rift between the United States and Israel hit new heights this week, with articles published in major Israeli publications accusing President Donald Trump of abandoning Israel to its greatest enemy following his interim deal with Iran.

Analysts described a sense of betrayal as public and political outrage over the terms of the agreement, which details the broad terms for ending the joint US-Israeli war on Iran, dominated headlines.


In one particularly blistering attack, an op-ed titled “You could have been the greatest president of all, but you failed” accused Trump of having signed a “surrender agreement with a murderous and cruel terror regime”.

Published in one of the country’s leading newspapers, Israel Hayom, which is owned by influential Trump mega-donor Miriam Adelson, the piece pulled few punches.

Styled as a letter to Trump, it went further than even some of Israel’s more extreme politicians in voicing criticism of the pact, accusing the US president of having turned the hourglass over to a new war and of having brought about the “humiliation” of his country.

“The broad smile on former President Barack Obama’s face contained so much mockery toward the man who had described his agreement as the worst ever,” it said, referencing the nuclear deal signed in 2015 that Trump walked away from three years later during his first term.

Hagai Ram, a professor at Ben Gurion University and author of the book Iranophobia: The Logic of an Israeli Obsession, said Trump was until recently “the most popular figure in Israel” – but he had now been turned “into a villain”.


The reaction was down to “phobia” and to an “all-encompassing sense of American betrayal of Israel” following a deal that was crowned by mainstream media as “an Iranian trap”, he added.

A broken marriage?


The US’s alliance with Israel is generally regarded as one of the closest in modern world history.


From playing a critical role in the establishment of its state in 1948, the US has backed Israel through multiple conflicts and its frequent disregard for international law in its treatment of the Palestinian people, particularly in its decades-old blockade and attacks upon the Gaza Strip.

However, while there have been spats before, none appear to rival the current dispute over the terms of this week’s US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) – even though observers were quick to note that the longstanding strategic alliance remains firmly intact.

Iran, for many Israelis, is their country’s regional nemesis and the war against it is, to all purposes, often portrayed as existential. For decades, Israeli politicians, including current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have claimed that Iran stands poised upon the brink of obtaining a nuclear weapon and, along with its allies including the Lebanese armed group, Hezbollah, remains set upon Israel’s destruction.

However, under the terms of the agreement, negotiated without Israel’s apparent involvement, all fighting, including the offensive launched against Lebanon in early March, was to be concluded immediately. Moreover, both sides were to commit to respecting what the MoU referred to as the “territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon”, of which Israel currently occupies around a fifth.

This has failed to land well in Israel.

A poll by Israel’s Channel 12 TV on Thursday appeared to mark a break with years of wide public support for the US, and Trump in particular.

According to the survey, only 11 percent of Israelis felt their country had “won” the war the US and Israel launched against Iran in late February, with an overwhelming 71 percent saying they no longer trusted the Trump administration to safeguard Israeli interests in the negotiations with Iran established under the terms of the MoU.

Disquiet over US aims has not been limited to the public. While Netanyahu has yet to comment publicly on the terms of the MoU, Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon and allegations that Hezbollah violated its terms have provided observers with indication enough that he does not regard himself as bound by it.

The Strait of Hormouz has to be opened. A tsunami of an economic disaster is going to hit the US sometime soon, trump now knows this and he's trying to head it off. Israel has to get out of the way.

I predicted a rift between the two at the start of the war...


It's only just taking time in the making. Trump thought he could control/handle the cunny Ben who was only just using trump.


Relationship down the hill. Trump is the biggest looser in all of this!

If anything happens to Trump, Israel should be held accountable.

true talk bro

It's the hypocrisy of America for me. No single missile or bomb leaves Israel without the approval of America.

So I don't get the pretence actually

With one mouth, una go talk say Israel dey control America.
With another mouth, una go talk say America controls Israel.



Israel just dey one corner dey look una.
The salvation of the Arab world from since when Israel gain their independence, was America and the west. This time, Trump had to warn Israel, not to take out some particular people.

😅😅😅

Israelis no go gree at all 🤷🏿.

I wish America lets Israel loose.

Let’s see what happens to Iran.

So you guys now support Trump.
So you see, it’s not that you have any values,
You just h8te Israelis.

Funny enough: they are capable to contain what ever h8te you have.
😅😅😅

Trump is a disaster and I'm happy that those fools in US that voted him because of racism are there to watch their great nation exposed and fallen by a common village idiot.
Israel will continue to defend themselves nor matter what.

If Israel is allowed, they'll blow up Kharg island and Iran power plants. Infrastructure such as bridges, hospitals, highway tunnels 🤷🏿

You are not a serious person.

Israel please finish Iran in your own way, and leave Trump USA alone.

Trump as a person is not a good idea ally, not a good friend.

If he red, he go leave you run and abandon you and he talks too much.

Trump always wanna take the glory.

See them...

When El9n Musk and Trump had issues...una run una mouth cho cho cho..

When they make peace and smash Lebanon..same una go rant cho cho cho

If I asked for prove to this nonsense you wrote, you'd be crying 😢 that i am calling out your brainlessness.

Israel is finding out the hard way what most people who know Trump personally, have come to realise.
Trump always throws everyone under the bus sooner rather than later. He has no loyalties.

The sons of shem will see to the end of the world sooner than we envisage .

Supporting trump because he made a wise decision about not commiting genocide everywhere .

No one will care about Israel of they're not commiting genocide,the same way people won't care about Germany if they're not gassing Jews .

Isreal chill. As far as the middle east goes everybody that's is not you are ur greatest enemy.

Make we find solution. As christian I support you. But as oil price no get religion. Make we find solution .

What I understand in all this is that Bible prophesy must be fulfilled.

AIPAC will go into overdrive mode this period.

That's not even the headache. The headache is who will hold the lion of Judea whenever he gets angry like he used to. Trump has a hold on Benjamin but that I believe wouldn't hold water any longer.....something terrible might happen in that middle East of evil soon......

So the strait of Hormouz only affects the US? It doesn't affect Iran or UK or China?

That's when you will know that all the Israeli underground bunkers are not immune to Iran missiles. But being an Islamic republic, they must not transgress beyond Islam rules of engagement.
