JERUSALEM (AP) — Israelis from across the political spectrum reacted angrily Monday to the news of an interim deal between the U.S. and Iran, calling it a disaster for Israel and directing their fury at one man: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

As of early Monday evening, Netanyahu had yet to release a statement. But other government officials, rivals, politicians and commentators were quick to criticize the deal, marking a sort of informal referendum on the premier’s tenure ahead of elections this fall.

They have also underscored Netanyahu’s deepening isolation — at home, in the region and, increasingly, from the United States.

Critics say the prime minister led President Donald Trump into the war with Iran while overpromising what it could achieve, and Trump is now dragging Israel out of the conflict before it feels ready.

1. We can demand Netanyahu resign or

we cut off all aid to Israel until that happens. There needs to be strings attached to foreign aid.

5. Let me see if I understand you

You feel that as a prerequisite for receiving foreign aid from us, countries must charge their poor for healthcare (just like we do.) Let’s face it, the rich don’t care how much they need to pay for healthcare, only the poor.

6. If we can't afford it for us, we can't afford to pay it for them.

They are not a poor third world country

2. Mossad and Likud radically underestimated both the Iranian regime and Hezbollah

The bloom is off the Mossad rose: it's very good at figuring out where people sleep, not so good at doing strength analysis.

Netanyahu and Likud were high on their own supply. They learned the lesson learned eventually by all bullies: when you go after somebody who can actually fight back, things are not so easy.

3. LOL, you thought Trump wouldn't throw your Ethnic Cleansing under the bus?

He'd drive the bus over you and back it up twice if it saved his ego.

4. I wouldn't worry. Netanyahu is planning right now on how to torpedo the agreement as we speak.
