Right-wing Israeli television station Channel 14, known for its strong support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former backing of Donald Trump, has sharply changed its tone following the announcement of a US-Iran ceasefire agreement. Prominent hosts and analysts on the channel have launched fierce verbal attacks on Trump and his top advisers, accusing them of undermining Israel’s security and betraying its interests. The shift comes amid widespread public concern in Israel that the deal ignores the country’s safety.

Despite the growing anger, Netanyahu’s hardline government has avoided direct criticism of Trump, reportedly fearing his reaction. Analysts suggest Channel 14’s outburst may be a strategic move to shield Netanyahu from diplomatic fallout. Channel figures such as Yinon Magal, Yaakov Bardugo, and Shimon Riklin have used harsh language, drawing condemnation from groups like the Anti-Defamation League. Channel spokesperson Omer Meiri insisted the network operates independently and allows free expression.

Netanyahu himself responded cautiously when asked about the deal, saying he and Trump often agree but sometimes differ. Meanwhile, Channel 14 continues to amplify its criticism online, intensifying the controversy.
