DOMINANT ANGLE
Jerusalem fears a Trump-Xi deal will yield a bad bargain on Iranian nukes
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Jerusalem watches the Trump-Xi summit as an anxious ally who co-managed the Iran war but fears Trump may conclude an insufficient deal on Iran's nuclear threat. The Jerusalem Post reports that Israeli officials told CNN their main fear: that Trump, tired of negotiations, might conclude 'any deal' with Iran at the last minute. 'The primary concern is that Trump will grow tired of talks and cut a deal — any deal — with last-minute concessions.'
Former PM Ehud Barak criticized Netanyahu for presenting Trump with a vision 'far from reality' — suggesting Netanyahu made Trump believe military action could trigger an Iranian regime collapse. Barak considers this reading illusory.
A Chinese supertanker carrying Iraqi crude crossed Hormuz after months of blockage — a partial normalization signal the JPost notes as a war indicator. For Israel, whose economy partly depends on Asian markets, this partial reopening has indirect energy implications.
KEY POINTS
- Israel fears Trump concludes a 'bad deal' with Iran under pressure, insufficient on the nuclear file
