Public outrage in Israel mounts over US-Iran interim agreement, with multiple feeling betrayed by the Trump administration. The growing rift between the United States and Israel hit new heights this week, with articles published in major Israeli publications accusing President Donald Trump of abandoning Israel to its greatest enemy following his interim deal with Iran.
