Prominent Israeli media figures closely aligned with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are accusing U.S. President Donald Trump of surrendering to Iran's demands by brokering a ceasefire with Lebanon. They have framed the decision to stop the conflict as a 'betrayal' to residents of northern Israel and a capitulation to Tehran's will. The criticism reflects deep-seated anger within parts of the Israeli establishment over the U.S.-led diplomatic move, which they see as undermining Israel's strategic position.
