        "summary": "Tensions between the US and Israel have escalated after Washington excluded Israel from a draft peace agreement with Iran. Israeli officials claim they have not been shown the memorandum of understanding, despite President Trump stating otherwise. The snub poses a significant political challenge for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of crucial elections.",
        "content": "<p>Israel has been sidelined by the United States in a peace agreement\nwith Iran, with the Israeli government admitting it was \u201cnot shown the\nmemorandum of understanding (MOU)\u201d designed to end Washington\u2019s war with\nTehran. A government official told NBC News on Wednesday local time,\nmarking the latest sign of rising tensions between the US and Israel.\nShortly after President Donald Trump said he had given a copy of the MOU\nto Israel, the same source stated Israel still had not seen the draft.\nThe source declined to comment on whether Israeli diplomats had\nrequested the text and been refused. This development is believed to be\na major obstacle for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces a\ncareer-defining general election before the end of October. Furthermore,\nTrump has grown increasingly impatient with Netanyahu, angered in recent\ndays by Israeli strikes on Lebanon that nearly derailed the US-Iran\npeace draft. \u201cWithout me, there would be no Israel,\u201d Trump said at the\nG7 summit on Tuesday, calling Netanyahu \u201ccrazy\u201d and using expletives to\ndescribe his poor judgement. Domestically, Netanyahu\u2019s government has\nbeen criticised for not going far enough to cripple Iran, which is\nviewed as a real enemy and threat to Israel, along with its main proxy\ngroup, Hezbollah in Lebanon. A survey by the Israel Democracy Institute\npublished two weeks ago found that 57.5% of Israelis believe ending the\nconflict based on the framework being discussed by the US and Iran would\nnot serve Israel\u2019s security interests. Netanyahu\u2019s domestic rivals have\ncondemned him, with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak stating on Monday\nthat Israel is suffering the consequences of Netanyahu\u2019s arrogance and\nblindness, and his attempted manipulation of Trump. \u201cIran is getting\nstronger, Israel is getting weaker. That is Netanyahu\u2019s strategic\nresponsibility. He failed,\u201d Barak asserted. Yair Lapid, who is expected\nto challenge Netanyahu in this year\u2019s election, called the draft\nagreement one of the most shocking failures in Israeli foreign and\nsecurity policy, entirely attributable to Netanyahu.<\/p>",
