00:00A major split is emerging between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
00:05Netanyahu. The disagreement follows a new U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at halting the war
00:10and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The interim deal creates a 60-day ceasefire period while
00:16negotiators work toward a permanent settlement. But Israeli officials reportedly believe the
00:21agreement leaves key security concerns unresolved. Issues such as Iran's missile program and support
00:27for regional armed groups are not expected to be part of the initial talks. Netanyahu says Israel
00:34will maintain freedom of action against threats and keep forces in southern Lebanon. The tensions
00:40highlight a rare public divergence between two leaders, who have often worked closely together.
00:45Analysts say the deal could weaken Netanyahu politically ahead of elections expected later
00:50this year. Recent polling suggests Israeli confidence in Trump's commitment to Israel's security
00:56has declined. As negotiations continue, the future of Iran's nuclear program and regional
01:02influence remains uncertain.
