Trump’s Iran deal turns alliance into election headache for Netanyahu

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud has reportedly scrapped a planned election campaign centered on his close relationship with US President Donald Trump, amid growing backlash in Israel over Washington’s controversial agreement with Iran.

According to reports, party strategists concluded that highlighting Netanyahu’s ties to Trump would no longer be a political asset after the US president advanced a deal many Israelis believe makes dangerous concessions to Tehran.

The move comes as tensions between the two leaders have become increasingly public, with Trump reportedly criticizing Netanyahu over recent military decisions and questioning his judgment, fueling speculation that one of Israel’s strongest political partnerships may be under growing strain.
