Israeli officials are increasingly concerned about the anticipated agreement between the United States and Iran, which U.S. President Donald Trump announced is expected to be signed on Sunday. The deal is also expected to include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international maritime traffic.

The concerns come amid renewed regional tensions. In a joint statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said that, acting on their directives, the Israeli military carried out strikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs targeting Hezbollah positions in response to gunfire launched toward Israeli territory.

Trump described the agreement with Tehran as a "wall" preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, American media outlets quoted a senior U.S. administration official as saying Washington believes it has reached a "strong and remarkable agreement" with Iran.

However, senior Israeli officials have reportedly expressed deep reservations about the terms of the deal. According to Israel’s Channel 12, officials argue that the agreement fails to directly address Israel’s wartime objectives and does not require Iran to halt support for its regional allies and proxy groups.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported growing concerns within Israeli circles regarding the proposed timeline for implementing the agreement. Meanwhile, a senior Israeli official quoted by Yedioth Ahronoth warned that Israel could ultimately be forced to make unwanted concessions in Lebanon, describing the agreement as "bad for Israel."

The expected agreement has fueled debate over its broader implications for regional security and the balance of power in the Middle East, particularly amid ongoing conflicts involving Iran-backed groups.
