Just hours after the U.S.-Iran memorandum appeared headed for formal signing, Hezbollah attacked Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, killing four soldiers and wounding 12 more. Israel responded with airstrikes, and Iran immediately threatened the future of the deal. The irony is hard to miss: after distancing itself from Israel and negotiating directly with Iran, the US now finds that the success of its agreement may depend on Israel’s willingness to go along with terms it never negotiated, wasn't even mentioned in by name, and never accepted. Iran appears to believe the deal requires Israeli concessions in Lebanon. Israel does not consider itself bound by it. Last night’s events exposed the first major crack in the agreement.

Lives are at risk in Israel! Missiles fill the air and sirens pierce the silence of the night … families are in harm’s way and need access to shelter! The moment the siren sounds, they must move quickly to protect themselves from harm. In those seconds, access to a bomb shelter could mean the difference between 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡. We’ve placed 25 bomb shelters in the last several months, one specifically outside of a Kindergarten – but more are needed urgently to protect the people of Israel from the attack of terrorists! Please help right now! Every second counts
Israel has not killed enough terrorists.

Much as it saddens me, I predicted as much

When you are hammering out an agreement, the details matter. All parties matter. At nearly every phase of this debacle, something was dropped, overlooked, or ignored for speed.
I feel terrible for the innocent people in that region. Their fear must be overwhelming some days
The hatred and mistrust in the middle east has taken root for generations.
