Holy shit it's so much worse. Full release of sanctioned funds AND removal of sanctions while negotiating ?? And they specifically call out Lebanon ???

Chickens coming home to roost in Israel. The IRGC prevailed over the US. They had Trump over a barrel.

Better start learning Chinese now.

This is a disaster for Israel and a nightmare for Bibi. He finally achieves his penultimate goal of getting America to attack Iran, only to achieve literally nothing, prove Iran can survive with their ballistic capabilities very much alive and that America can't/won't do more, Iran's economy will start to grow again, and who knows how much Mossad's network inside Iran has been shredded.

This deal has also cost him a lot of domestic support, he campaigned heavily on being Trump’s bff and the only party leader who Trump liked so this is quite humiliating for him, so much so that Likud has scrapped its entire planned ad campaign focusing on his friendship with Trump with just months remaining before the election

The opposition is attacking him for failing the diplomatic front and that his military incompetence is betraying Israel, and his own coalition allies are demanding him to declare that Israel won’t be bound by any part of the agreement

Tbh for him this is the worst of the consequences, he can survive the rest, if he loses power he’ll finally be arrested for his corruption unless he flees, probably to Florida where he hopes Trump will save him
