The United States’ withdrawal from a war posture against Iran and President Donald Trump’s subsequent agreement with Tehran have dealt a major blow to Israel’s long-term strategic ambitions in the Middle East, according to analysts cited in the report. They argue that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s goal of establishing a “Greater Israel” through regional dominance has effectively collapsed after Washington’s policy reversal.

The report notes that Trump’s decision was driven by domestic political and economic pressures, including rising fuel costs, inflation, and declining popularity ahead of midterm elections. Within Israel, the deal has sparked anger among policymakers and right-wing factions, with opposition leaders calling for independent military action and stronger measures against Iran. Military analysts described the development as Netanyahu’s most significant security failure since the 2023 Hamas attack.

The article adds that Iran has emerged as a key regional power, maintaining its nuclear enrichment capabilities and strengthening ties with Hezbollah and other allies. Meanwhile, Israel’s reliance on US support has weakened, and its lobbying groups are seeking new ways to secure defense cooperation through US legislation.
