Israeli Opposition Blasts Netanyahu Over Emerging U.S.-Iran Deal, Citing Missile and Nuclear Gaps

Summary
Leading Israeli opposition politicians sharply attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement, arguing it leaves Israel exposed to key Iranian threats.
Their criticism centers on what they say are major omissions: Tehran's nuclear ambitions are not adequately constrained, and its ballistic missile stockpile is left unaddressed.
That attack broadens a wider Israeli backlash to the deal, which has been denounced domestically as a "bad deal" that falls short of Netanyahu's stated goals on Iran.
The emerging arrangement reportedly pairs Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz with U.S. relief from port blockades and a 60-day cease-fire extension for further talks.
