Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Office:

Israel supports President Trump's decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks subject to Iran immediately opening the straits and stopping all attacks on the US, Israel, and countries in the region.

Israel also supports the US effort to ensure that Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile, and terror threat to America, Israel, Iran's Arab neighbors, and the world.

The United States has told Israel that it is committed to achieving these goals, shared by the US, Israel, and Israel's regional allies, in the upcoming negotiations.

The two-week ceasefire does not include Lebanon.

High-ranking Israeli officials tell local media that the US will take a firm line in the upcoming negotiations and demand an end to Iran’s nuclear program and limitations on its missile program.

But that’s not at all how the ceasefire is being presented in Iran after Trump highlighted Tehran’s 10-point proposal (more accurately, its 10 demands) as the basis for the ceasefire and peace talks.

Israel knows this enemy better than Trump, and there is concern in Jerusalem.

Trump sells the ceasefire as a major success and even a β€œgolden age” for the Middle East. But in Israel it’s seen by many as a strategic failure.

πŸ”ΉοΈ The Iranian regime remains in place
πŸ”ΉοΈ The enriched uranium remains
πŸ”ΉοΈ The ballistic missile threat persists
πŸ”ΉοΈ And now Iran will charge ships to traverse the Strait of Hormuz

One thing is clear: Trump has no interest in resuming the war. A glance at oil prices, which fell sharply after the announcement of the ceasefire, speaks volumes.

Trump spins it as a success. But for Israel it seems premature. A lot of effort, for very little substance.
πŸ™120πŸ‘34😒19πŸ’―16❀14πŸ”₯2πŸ₯°1
Israel did not go to war to open the Strait of Hormuz or lower oil prices. The strait of was open and oil prices relatively low before the war.

Israel’s clearly stated goals have always been:

πŸ”ΉοΈ Eliminate the nuclear threat
πŸ”ΉοΈ Eliminate the ballistic missile threat
πŸ”ΉοΈ Break the power of the mullah regime (hopeful that it would lead to regime change)

Trump says the first two goals will be achieved in the upcoming negotiations and that effective regime change has occurred because all the previous leaders are dead.

Is this naΓ―vetΓ©, or is more going on behind the scenes❓️

There is much confusion at present. What is clear is that for no one but Trump does this appear to be β€œtotal victory.”

Israeli opposition lawmaker Avigdor Liberman:

β€œThe ceasefire gives the Iranian regime an opportunity to regroup.

β€œA deal that does not require Iran to abandon its desire to destroy Israel, its nuclear program, its ballistic missile production, or its support for regional terror groups–will only require us to launch another operation at a later time under more severe circumstances with a higher price.”

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has issued a statement that very much echos Trump’s, but in reverse:

"The enemy has been begging Iran for over a month to stop the Iranian attacks.

β€œWe now inform the Iranian nation that we have achieved almost all the goals of the war - we have defeated the enemy in a crushing manner.

β€œFollowing the acceptance by the enemy of all our legitimate demands, we have decided to hold negotiations in Islamabad (Pakistan) that will be concluded within 15 days at the most.

β€œThe Prime Minister of Pakistan informed Iran that the US had accepted these principles as the basis for negotiations and had submitted to the will of the Iranian people.

β€œThis does not indicate the end of the war.

β€œThe negotiations will begin in Islamabad on Friday, April 10. The negotiations will last for two weeks - they can be extended by mutual agreement.

β€œNational unity must be maintained and the celebrations of victory must continue with full vigor.

β€œIf the victory is not translated into a political achievement, we will fight on the battlefield until all the demands of the Iranian people are met.

β€œOur fingers remain on the trigger and if the enemy makes a small mistake, we will respond with full force.”

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council reiterated the primarily principles of its 10-point proposal upon which the ceasefire and upcoming peace talks are based:

πŸ”ΉοΈ Granting special economic status to Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.

πŸ”ΉοΈ Ending the war against all members of the axis of resistance.

πŸ”ΉοΈ Withdrawal of all American forces from the region.

πŸ”ΉοΈ Establishment of a special transit protocol in the Strait of Hormuz that guarantees Iran's dominance.

πŸ”ΉοΈ Full payment of compensation to Iran.

πŸ”ΉοΈ Lifting of all sanctions on Iran.

πŸ”ΉοΈ Release of funds and assets frozen abroad.

πŸ”ΉοΈ Approval of all conditions in a resolution by the UN Security Council.

Iran was planning to launch a much bigger β€œfinal barrage” at Israel last night as the ceasefire went into effect.

But the IDF says it conducted a massive wave of airstrikes against Iranian missile launchers that prevented such a barrage.

The IDF confirms that it has been ordered to cease fire in Iran, but that it remains ready to β€œrespond to any violation.”

Operations in Lebanon continue, the Israeli military stated.
