Legislator from Netanyahu’s Likud party opposes Iran truce

There’s already pushback to the Israel-Iran ceasefire.

Dan Illouz, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud Party, has said that the only deal the government must signed is Iran’s “surrender agreement”.

In a statement posted on X, Illouz said the “regime in Iran is not a regime with which agreements are made – but a regime that must be defeated”.

Illouz said that “if not defeated”, Iran will find new means against Israel.

This comes as Netanyahu faces pressure from right-wing members of his fractious coalition, as well as hardliners from his own party, to continue forceful action against Iran.

In recent days, Netanyahu has hinted that he will support a regime change in Iran, while Israeli media are advocating a partition of Iran along ethnic lines.
