Yair Lapid has delivered a scathing critique of the Israeli prime minister, saying the emerging US-Iran deal has failed to secure any of Israel’s war objectives, Al Jazeera reports.

“The [Iranian] regime survives, the missile programme remains intact, and Iran can rebuild its nuclear programme,” the Israeli opposition leader said in a social media post.

Lapid described the US-Iran deal as the result of a “complete failure” by Netanyahu, whom he accused of turning Israel into “a client state”.

“No press conference, no media spin, and no AI-generated video will be able to hide this failure,” he added.
