# Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on a collision course with US president Donald Trump as America seeks to extricate itself from the war, with both men’s goals unmet and Israeli military operations tied down in Lebanon. Reuters reports that one senior Israeli official said the preliminary agreement is terrible for Israel and there is no one in the Israeli leadership who view it otherwise. They thought the negotiating period under the deal was likely to be extended, which ties Israel’s hands from taking military action, while its concerns remain unresolved.
