Netanyahu has 'no manoeuvring room' on US-Iran deal, ex-Israeli diplomat says

The US vice president has excoriated Israeli critics of the agreement, warning that “I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world”.

Speaking to reporters from the White House, Vance said that Trump was “the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time” and chastised Israeli cabinet members, reminding them that the majority of the country's defensive weapons were provided through US funding.

“The problem for Israel is not Donald J Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the president of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in,” Vance said.

Former Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas tells Al Jazeera Netanyahu drove most attacks on Trump over the Iran deal, misreading US policy, and warns Israel may learn to live with a new Iran agreement even if its prime minister politically cannot.
