“Benjamin Netanyahu has staked his political future on his ironclad relationship with Donald Trump — but that’s become a liability now that the US president has cut a deal with Iran that much of Israel opposes,” Bloomberg reports.
“Israel’s longest-standing prime minister is preparing for an election this fall he’d hoped to clinch with the help of the man he’s called the “best friend” his country’s ever had in the White House. Instead, Netanyahu must contend with an agreement that will leave the Islamic Republic intact, an unpalatable prospect to Israelis of all stripes.”
“It’s already cost him in opinion polls, where his support has slipped as the war that he began with Trump has dragged on with Israel achieving few of its strategic aims.”
