Israel's desperate plot is out: Netanyahu demands Iran negotiator’s death as Trump turns away?

Fresh reports suggest deepening tensions between Washington and Tel Aviv over the future of U.S.-Iran ceasefire diplomacy, with Israeli officials allegedly urging the Trump administration to abandon negotiations and resume military strikes on Iran. According to reports, some Israeli officials even discussed targeting senior Iranian negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, whom they view as central to Tehran’s diplomatic strategy. Israeli sources reportedly fear that a Hormuz reopening deal could politically strengthen Iran, restore its regional leverage, and sideline Israel’s strategic influence. The pressure campaign comes as Trump expands indirect talks with Tehran, fueling private frustration in Israel that Netanyahu is being pushed out of key negotiations shaping the region’s future.
