A Ynet analysis argues Netanyahu’s decade-long reliance on Donald Trump to counter Iran has backfired, leaving Israel diplomatically isolated as Washington moves toward a deal with Tehran.
Netanyahu bet the house on Trump — and according to Ynet, Israel is the one paying out. The outlet’s analysis says the PM spent a decade banking on Trump to help bring down Iran’s regional power. Instead, Washington’s recent tilt toward a deal with Tehran has left Israel feeling boxed out and exposed.
Ynet points to rising security worries in Lebanon, growing diplomatic isolation, and friction with the Trump administration — including pointed criticism from VP JD Vance — as signs the strategy has unraveled.
The takeaway from Ynet’s analysis: Israel needs to mend fences with allies, reopen diplomatic channels, and find fresh common ground with Washington before things get worse.
