Yet Netanyahu has refused to answer them in kind. He has not attacked Trump, Vance or the emerging agreement with Iran.

That silence is unlikely to be weakness. Netanyahu understands that a public confrontation with the White House would damage Israel’s diplomatic position, threaten vital military cooperation and allow Washington to accuse Jerusalem of sabotaging a supposed peace initiative.

There may also be a deeper calculation. Netanyahu may believe the agreement is too fragile to survive Iran’s conduct. Tehran and Washington are already presenting different versions of what was agreed, while the most important issues—including enriched uranium, inspections, missiles and support for terrorist proxies—remain unresolved.
