Defeat from the jaws of victory: Israel reacts to Trump’s Iran ceasefire

What Happened

Israel's government supports a two-week ceasefire announced by President Trump following attacks on Iran. However, Prime Minister Netanyahu faces political backlash from opposition leaders who criticize the deal as a strategic failure. Israel's stated war aims—preventing Iran's nuclear development and regime change—remain unachieved. Despite military successes, Iran's government survives with its ballistic missile program intact and enriched uranium reserves. Analysts suggest Iran emerged strategically stronger despite military defeats.
