Political analyst Harlan Ullman has described the relationship between the United States and Israel as 'alarming' and 'dangerous' following a major rift between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The dispute centers on a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, which Ullman said has deeply angered Netanyahu. He told Al Jazeera that the Israeli leader is desperate to dismantle the agreement.

Although Netanyahu has refrained from publicly criticizing the deal, multiple media reports and observers suggest he is furious about it. According to Ullman, Netanyahu believes the agreement could harm his chances in Israel’s upcoming October election. Ullman also noted that Trump’s public remarks, implying he alone controls key decisions, may be boosting support for Netanyahu’s political opponents.

The tensions highlight growing strategic friction between Washington and Tel Aviv, with analysts warning that the dispute could reshape political dynamics ahead of Israel’s fall elections.
