Israeli leaders have largely refrained from commenting on President Donald Trump's announcement of an emerging peace deal with Iran, reflecting concern that the agreement may not significantly curb Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities. A statement attributed to an unnamed Israeli official said Trump assured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he would insist Iran dismantle its nuclear program and remove all enriched uranium before signing any final deal.

Netanyahu has made no public remarks about the proposal, a stark contrast to his forceful statements at the start of the joint Israeli and American offensive against Iran three months ago. Analysts say the muted response signals unease in Israel that the developing agreement may fall short of its broader war aims, which included dismantling Iran's ballistic missile program, curbing its regional proxy support, and eliminating what Netanyahu described as existential threats.

Early indications suggest the proposed deal would prioritize ending hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while deferring key nuclear issues to future negotiations and omitting clear limits on ballistic missiles. Although Israel is not directly involved in the talks, officials appear poised to use the negotiation period to try to shape the final outcome.
