Israeli security officials are increasingly concerned that US President Donald Trump may conclude a rapid or limited agreement with Iran that fails to address key security issues, according to a report published by the Israeli newspaper Maariv.

The report said concerns within Israel’s political and defense establishment center on the possibility that Washington could prioritize a narrow nuclear understanding with Tehran while leaving Iran’s ballistic missile programme and regional alliances largely untouched.

Israeli analysts fear that such an agreement could lead to the easing of economic sanctions and the release of frozen Iranian assets, potentially strengthening Tehran’s military capabilities and regional influence.

According to Maariv, several scenarios are currently being discussed within Israeli strategic circles. One of the most troubling outcomes, from Israel’s perspective, would be a partial diplomatic agreement that provides Iran with financial relief without imposing broader security restrictions.

Another scenario viewed negatively involves a limited US military strike followed by negotiations, which Israeli officials believe could expose Israel to Iranian retaliation while ultimately leaving Iran politically strengthened.

The report added that some Israeli policymakers consider a large-scale American military campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure the most favorable outcome, while others see continued international pressure through sanctions and diplomatic isolation as a more realistic alternative.

A Jewish professor living in Israel conducted a DNA test of the inhabitants – only 0.02% of the Jews where traceable back to over 2000 years ago as relating to the area –on the contrary and to his surprise between 8 and 10 % of the Palestinians had DNA tracing back to that time .

Israel has no intention of giving up its warlike stance that’s what happens when your religious beliefs are tied to a so called “holy book ” like the Talmud –its total obliteration of the “enemy ” nothing less will do –quote – “and when you enter the Land that is gifted to you you will utterly destroy all living things -men-women-children-babies even cattle take no pity on the inhabitants ” – The Torah.
