Reuters reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be the biggest loser in a potential US‑Iran agreement, a politician who has built much of his political standing on influencing Washington’s policy toward Iran. The report says Donald Trump’s push for a diplomatic solution with Tehran has sidelined Netanyahu and further isolated him on the international stage.
Netanyahu is also facing mounting pressure from his domestic political base, and some analysts believe the war he hoped would cement his legacy may instead become a reminder of the weakening of one of his key power sources. According to these analysts, Netanyahu is now more dependent on Washington’s decisions and, with Israel’s next election approaching, faces greater political vulnerability.
