Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz Were Not Notified in Advance of Trump's Decision to Halt the Attacks

Israel's government reportedly learned that US President Donald Trump had suspended planned strikes on Iran from his social media post, according to Channel 12. The Israeli broadcaster, citing senior officials, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz were not notified in advance of Trump's decision to halt the attacks. The initial impression in Israel was that Trump's announcement was a move to create a false sense of security in Tehran, but after talks with US officials, it was confirmed that Trump had genuinely changed his mind. A senior Israeli official told Channel 12: "For hours we were in complete uncertainty.

President Trump left us in a chaotic, foggy environment. Senior commanders learned what was happening from Trump's social media post. The official described the atmosphere after Trump's post as "feeling abandoned halfway.

Another Israeli official said: "It's frustrating to allocate all our resources to one front and then realize we were on high alert for nothing. We don't understand what the president's final plan is. Despite this, Tel Aviv, believing Trump could suddenly change his mind again, keeps the military on high alert.

Trump announced late last night on social media that an agreement had been reached with Iran on the outlines of a deal, prompting him to suspend planned strikes. He emphasized the deal includes the "complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz" and the "complete end of Iran's nuclear threat, adding that Israel shares his stance. Reports had indicated the US and Israel planned to carry out "the harshest bombing to date" against Iran's energy infrastructure this weekend.
