A new survey indicates that the vast majority of Israelis view the recently finalized Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran as a strategic victory for Tehran and a detriment to Israel’s long-term security.
The poll, conducted by the Agam Institute at Hebrew University, found that over 90% of respondents believe Iran has emerged as the winner from the agreement.
This overwhelming domestic opposition underscores the political fragility of the diplomatic breakthrough.
While the framework aims to ease tensions, the lack of public support in Jerusalem suggests that any Israeli government would face significant pressure to resist or undermine the deal, regardless of American diplomatic efforts.
Israel has already formally registered its opposition to the proposed peace framework, casting immediate doubt on its durability.
The disconnect between the diplomatic progress in Washington and the sentiment on the ground in Israel highlights a major hurdle for the agreement's implementation.
