What happened

An opinion article says Donald Trump halted escalation against Iran when no decisive victory appeared likely, frustrating Benjamin Netanyahu’s strategy. It argues that Israel’s war aims diverged sharply from Washington’s and that Netanyahu’s refusal to withdraw from other fronts is deepening Israel’s strategic problems.

  • 01Trump aborted an Israeli strike on Iran and later pushed for ceasefires, the article says.
  • 02Netanyahu bet on Trump after the U.S. left the nuclear deal, but their war goals differed.
  • 03In February, U.S. officials rejected Israel’s second-phase plan, and Trump chose an agreement over escalation.
  • 04The article says Israeli overconfidence also misread the situation in Lebanon and Gaza.
  • 05It warns against driving Trump toward Iran and says Netanyahu cannot cut losses.
