12 Minutes With<\/a>earlier in March, Lapid admitted that the US president cannot be persuaded or \u201cpushed\u201d into any decision, even by Israel. <\/p>\n\u201cDoes Donald Trump strike you as someone who can be pushed around? I don’t think so,” Lapid told Euronews. <\/p>\n
\u201dHe’s the president of the biggest military army in the history of humanity. He’s a determined man,” Lapid said. <\/p>\n
“Israel is filled with gratitude and admiration for his courage, for his moral clarity on the issue, for the fact that he decided to go into this war, understanding this is protecting peace on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lapid then went on to say that, with the exception of US First Lady Melania Trump, he does not think “anybody can push Donald Trump to do something he doesn’t want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yair Golan, head of the centre-left The Democrats party, accused Netanyahu of lying on X. <\/p>\n
\u201cNetanyahu lied. He promised a \u2018historic victory\u2019 and security for generations, and in practice, we got one of the gravest strategic failures Israel has known,” Golan said.<\/p>\n
Golan stated that after \u201cblood was spilled … brave citizens killed (and) soldiers fell … none of the goals were accomplished\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe nuclear program was not destroyed; the ballistic threat remains; the regime is in place and is even stronger coming out of this war,” he added.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s conservative politicians directed their criticism at Trump. <\/p>\n
Avigdor Liberman, head of the Yisrael Beytenu party, warned that \u201ca ceasefire with Iran gives the ayatollahs\u2019 regime a break and time to regroup.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAny agreement with Iran, without giving up on destroying Israel, enriching uranium, manufacturing ballistic missiles and supporting terror groups in the region, means we\u2019ll return to another war in harder conditions with a heavier price,\u201d Liberman wrote on X.<\/p>\n
The ceasefire deal was also met with immediate criticism from within Netanyahu\u2019s coalition, including head of the National Security Committee Tzvika Foghel, who criticised Trump on X. <\/p>\n
\u201cDonald, you came off as a duck,” Foghel said.<\/p>\n
Fogel did not comment on Netanyahu\u2019s role in the ceasefire and deleted this X post shortly after publishing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hours after the two-week truce between the US and Iran was announced on Tuesday night, the office of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":388570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[10100,42,151033,172588,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-388569","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-benjamin-netanyahu","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-iran-war","11":"tag-israeli-politics","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-top-news","14":"tag-top-stories","15":"tag-topnews","16":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
