You need to hear about this because Netanyahu is currently trapped between two firestorms! The ceasefire with Iran was announced on Monday after a disastrous failed strike in Tehran — which he called "the greatest intelligence failure" ever — and Biden brokered the deal by actually reversing Trump-era sanctions. Netanyahu has blasted Trump as unreliable for that shift, calling him an ungrateful friend who undermined Israel's interests right when they needed help most! This is one of those situations where a leader is publicly condemning someone while privately needing their continued support in Washington — a political tightrope and he's walking it with style.

But it gets worse on the domestic front because Netanyahu's own coalition almost collapsed over this deal too! Smotrich and Ben Grian threatened to veto it, which would have meant open revolt among his right-wing ministers, so instead he bypassed them with a cabinet vote (37-4) rather than forcing a Knesset vote where they could defeat him. People are already protesting in the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem against the deal, and Netanyahu is fighting on two fronts at once — defending Israel's position to Washington while also keeping his coalition together! You can almost feel the pressure from here and I just want someone who built something solid enough to handle it without breaking.
