Avigdor Liberman, leader of the Yisrael Beytenu party, has voiced strong opposition to any potential deal with Iran, calling it a 'catastrophe' that would leave the current Iranian regime intact. In a recent interview, he criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for allowing U.S. President Donald Trump to dictate Israel's position on Iran and Lebanon, claiming that Netanyahu has turned Israel into a 'banana republic.' Liberman argued that any agreement with Iran would not prevent the country from pursuing nuclear capabilities, emphasizing that nations like Germany or Japan could also produce nuclear weapons if they chose to. He expressed concern about the Iranian regime's intentions towards Israel, stating that their leadership is fanatical and aims for Israel's destruction. Additionally, Benny Gantz, leader of the Blue and White party, echoed Liberman's concerns, specifically criticizing the inclusion of Lebanon in the Iran deal. Gantz warned that accepting a ceasefire in Lebanon as part of the agreement would be a strategic error, urging Israel to maintain a firm stance against such terms. Both leaders' comments reflect growing unease among Israeli officials regarding the implications of the emerging Iran deal.
