Israeli journalist and Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy has described the current situation among the United States, Israel, and Iran as extremely explosive. In an interview with Al Jazeera, he stated that Israel has ultimately lost in this geopolitical game. Levy noted that many figures around Donald Trump, including within the Republican Party, the White House, and the U.S. State Department, hold more critical views of Israel than Trump himself.
Levy warned that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu damages relations with Trump, Israel could face an unprecedented challenge. He added that the consequences of such a rift would become clear very soon. According to Levy, both the United States and Trump personally now regard Israel as an obstacle and will treat it accordingly.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions following a U.S.-Iran agreement signed in Geneva, which has reportedly left Netanyahu politically cornered.
