For months, the question hanging over Jerusalem was what a US\u2013Iran<\/a> deal would mean for Israel.<\/p>\n

In the newest episode of The Jerusalem Dispatch, host Calev Ben-David and co-host Ruth Marks Eglash, editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Report, dig into the answer, and it isn’t the one many Israelis hoped for.<\/p>\n

The new US\u2013Iran memorandum of understanding has landed not as a victory lap after a war of ballistic missiles and bomb shelters, but as a deflating anticlimax<\/a>, prompting the hosts to ask out loud: after all the sacrifice, what did Israel actually get?<\/p>\n

From there, they turn unsparing. Why is JD Vance, seen in Israel as the administration’s least sympathetic voice, leading talks mediated by Qatar and Pakistan? Why does a new “deconfliction cell” in Lebanon leave Israel out while shaping its border towns, even as Trump warns Netanyahu not to “overreact” against Hezbollah but threatens<\/a> to level Iran?<\/p>\n

They probe the widening gap between Washington and Jerusalem, and the election squeeze closing in on Netanyahu by October.<\/p>\n
