Israelis denounce Trump’s deal with Iran
JERUSALEM — A “catastrophe.” A “bad deal.” An agreement that “throws a lifeline to the murderous regime in Tehran.”Among Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s supporters and critics alike, in the press and on social media, the mood was clear as Israelis woke up Monday to news of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran: President Donald Trump’s deal is not one that many in Israel like. Iran, they say, will remain a threat.
The question now is whether Trump’s deal is one that Netanyahu will stomach — or one he will seek to derail. Trump in brief expletive-punctuated interviews Sunday already accused the Israeli leader of jeopardizing the accord.

Bibi's dilemma is how hard to go after killing the agreement. Does he risk US support and continue to attack Hezbollah in Lebanon to the point when Iran backs out?
Cuz let's face it, Netanyahu has his own agenda. Keep Israel at war so he doesn't have to face a re-election vote while the country is not in armed conflict. Does he care about countries around the world with depleted oil stockpiles? No. Does he care about where the price of gas in the US was headed absent a re-opening of the Strait? No. He cares about Bibi. And in that kind of self-serving focus he has something powerful in common with trump.
