Netanyahu's political brand jeopardized by US‑Iran deal

Reuters reports that a possible agreement between the United States and Iran is threatening Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political brand, which he spent decades building on the claim that he alone could align Washington and Tel Aviv on Iran. Analysts say the deal, aimed at ending the February war that the United States and Israel launched, reverses Netanyahu’s narrative and leaves him dependent on President Donald Trump’s willingness to compromise.

The agreement could isolate Netanyahu internationally, limit support from his right‑wing base, and affect his standing ahead of Israel’s upcoming elections, according to former U.S. officials and diplomats cited by the agency.
