Netanyahu in trouble: Israeli PM's rival blasts him for 'losing' to Iran despite 40-day war, US deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a fresh political storm after opposition leader Yair Lapid launched a blistering attack on his handling of the Iran crisis and the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement. Lapid argued that key Israeli war objectives were not achieved and accused Netanyahu of a series of strategic failures ranging from diplomacy and missile policy to Gulf alliances and negotiations with Washington. The criticism came after Donald Trump signaled a possible breakthrough with Tehran. As debate intensifies over the deal's implications, new fault lines are emerging inside Israel's political establishment.
