Israel Reacts to Trumps Last-Minute Iran Ceasefire Deal

Here’s a rewritten version of the article in a neutral newsroom style:

Israel’s Conflict with Iran Ends in Ceasefire

A two-week ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump has brought an end to Israel’s conflict with Iran. The agreement, brokered by Pakistan, marks a significant development in the region.

According to reports, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement supporting the US decision and claiming that “Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile, and terror threat to America, Israel, Iran’s Arab neighbors, and the world.” However, Netanyahu added that the ceasefire does not extend to Israel’s ongoing conflict with Lebanon.

Israel’s opposition leader, Yair Lapid, has criticized the ceasefire, calling it one of the greatest “political disasters in all of our history.” He stated that Netanyahu had failed to achieve his goals and that the country would take years to recover from the damage inflicted by the prime minister’s actions.

Other officials have also reacted to the announcement. Ofer Cassif of the Hadash party said, “Netanyahu has no interest in talking to the people of Israel. He rarely does and almost never enters the television or radio studio.” Ahron Bregman, a senior teaching fellow at King’s College London, noted that despite significant military successes, neither of Israel’s original goals had been achieved.

According to analysts, Iran appears to have emerged stronger as a result of the conflict. The country’s ballistic missile program could be rebuilt quickly, and it still possesses 440kg of enriched uranium, enough for 10 bombs. Bregman stated that “Israel and the US had many tactical gains, but strategically, Iran is the clear victor.”
