Emerging Iran deal could strengthen regime, curb action against Hezbollah, Israeli officials tell i24NEWS
Rather than laying the groundwork for its eventual collapse, they fear the agreement could allow the regime not only to survive but to emerge stronger
Three Israeli political and security officials conveyed to i24NEWS the deep concern in Israel over the details of the emerging agreement with Iran.
Their concerns center on a series of major weaknesses and unanswered questions, including the billions of dollars expected to flow into the regime’s coffers. Rather than laying the groundwork for its eventual collapse, they fear the agreement could allow the regime not only to survive but to emerge stronger.
Additional concerns focus on reported understandings regarding Lebanon’s inclusion in the framework and the likelihood of significant restrictions on Israel’s freedom of action against Hezbollah.
