Israelis are reacting with anger and concern to a ceasefire and “peace” deal between the United States and Iran announced days earlier, with multiple reports describing public frustration and worry about Israel’s security. In interviews in central Israel, residents say the agreement does not resolve core issues and could allow Iran to rebuild and ultimately pose a renewed threat. Several people express a sense of betrayal, particularly tied to President Donald Trump, arguing that the deal leaves Israel more exposed and having to handle dangers on its own. Some describe the shift from emergency preparations—such as using bomb shelters—to a return to normal routines as abrupt, while noting that they do not believe underlying risks have been addressed.

Across accounts, the focus remains on whether the agreement reduces or delays threats from Iran, and on how Israelis interpret the deal’s implications for Israel’s regional role and future conflicts.

One day we were in the [bomb] shelters with our children … The next day, everything is supposed to be normal. But nothing has been resolved,” said Shaham Nowick, 35, as he studied the menu.
