Opposition leader Yair Lapid has sharply criticized the potential agreement being formulated with Iran. He asserts the deal allows the Iranian regime to survive, maintains its ballistic missile program, and enables the potential rebuilding of its nuclear capabilities. Lapid dismissed any attempts to portray the agreement positively, stating that press conferences, media spins, or AI-generated videos cannot conceal what he views as a failure. He directly attributed this outcome to former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies. Lapid’s statement represents a strong opposition voice against the emerging deal, framing it as a continuation of existing threats rather than a resolution. The criticism focuses on the deal’s perceived inability to dismantle Iran’s nuclear infrastructure or curb its regional influence.
