‘ENOUGH OF YOUR LIES’: Israelis Openly Revolt Against Netanyahu As Hezbollah Truce Goes Up In Smoke

[00:00:00]A ceasefire on paper, explosions in the sky. Just hours after Israel and Hezbollah were supposed to fall silent, fresh air strikes, [music] rising smoke, and deadly attacks shattered hopes of calm along the Israel-Lebanon border. As plumes of smoke billowed over southern Lebanon >> [music] >> and blasts echoed across northern Israel, the Israeli citizens are now [music] venting their anger at Benjamin Netanyahu's regime.

[00:00:28]>> Right now there's a tiny lull, but it doesn't stop for a second. It's constant.

[00:00:34]And it's worrying because we are struggling, we are fighting in southern Lebanon, but we don't have the freedom we should have.

[00:00:45]We needed more freedom to hit them as hard as possible.

[00:00:49]We can't wipe them out, but we can weaken them and give us our lives back.

[00:00:54]And it's not just in southern Lebanon, it spills over to us from Hezbollah's side.

[00:00:59]And they turn a blind eye. I don't know, Trump turned on us, changed his mind, and we're in trouble.

[00:01:05]>> Footage from northern Israel showed plumes of smoke from across the border.

[00:01:10]One resident [music] said he believes the conflict should end through a broader agreement being negotiated between the United States and Iran.

[00:01:18]>> I think the the operation of Israel in southern Lebanon I think the this war need to end with agreements.

[00:01:30]And since yesterday I believe on the agreements that Trump is going to sign with the Iranians, I think this is the best way to end this war.

[00:01:42]And I think the government of Israel lost the direction and she doesn't know what to do and she need to be guided by uh others.

[00:01:54]>> The intense fighting in Lebanon comes amid Benjamin Netanyahu facing intense criticism at home amid strained relations with the United States.

[00:02:04]According to an Israeli media report, [music] Trump administration officials have been reaching out to Netanyahu's rivals.

[00:02:11]Residents of the Israeli border town of Metula voiced [music] mixed opinions over the ceasefire with Hezbollah.

[00:02:19]Is Donald Trump quietly plotting Netanyahu's ouster?

[00:02:24]US has just dropped a political bombshell on Bibi amid unprecedented rift over an interim agreement with Iran.

[00:02:35]A stunning report from the Israeli media has claimed that officials within the Trump administration have begun reaching out to the opposition parties, including the [music] leading contenders to replace Netanyahu in the upcoming election, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett [music] and former IDF Chief Gadi Eizenkot.

[00:02:57]According to Israel's Channel 12 report, the Trump administration officials, including some with close ties with Netanyahu, have been sending out feelers to build relations.

[00:03:11]The shocking development comes at a time as Donald Trump repeatedly said he had good relations with the Israeli PM.

[00:03:21]>> And obviously we fought very well with Israel.

[00:03:25]And we've had a great relationship with Israel. We are very formidable.

[00:03:30]And Bibi Netanyahu, he's a warrior prime minister.

[00:03:34]And he should be acknowledged as that.

[00:03:36]He should they should give him credit.

[00:03:38]Because he really did he we had a very good relationship general with all of them, but we really fought hard with Israel.

[00:03:45]>> Netanyahu has been facing intense criticism in his own country with opinion polls claiming his ruling party might be routed in the national polls [music] this year.

[00:03:59]Is Benjamin Netanyahu rapidly losing grip on his power in Israel?

[00:04:05]A new opinion poll has delivered a shocker to the Israeli Prime Minister days after the United States and Iran signed a peace deal to end the four-month-long war.

[00:04:17]According to a new opinion poll published Friday, Israel's opposition would be able [music] to form a government if elections were held today, securing 61 seats in the 120-member Knesset compared with 49 seats for Netanyahu's ruling block.

[00:04:36]According to Turkey's Anadolu Agency, the survey conducted by the Laser Research Institute in cooperation with the Israeli daily Maariv between June 17th and 18th sampled 501 respondents and had a margin of error of approximately 4.4%. [music] According to the report, the survey showed continuous gains for the opposition Yesh Atid party led by former Israel Defense Force Chief Gadi Eisenkot, which claimed 21 seats tying Netanyahu's Likud party.

[00:05:13]Netanyahu's Likud lost seven seats in recent polling, [music] according to the Maariv survey. While former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's Together party dropped by 11 seats since the alliance with another XPM, Yair Lapid, was formed in April.

[00:05:31]A previous Maariv opinion poll published last Friday had showed Netanyahu-led Likud's support at 22 seats, the lowest in nearly a year, and the party's weakest showing since August 2025.

[00:05:46]The opinion poll was published days after US President Trump signed an agreement [music] with Iran that called for Tehran to dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium [music] and waived US-backed sanctions on the country, immediately allowing Iran to sell its oil freely in a major concession from Washington, according to details released by both countries.

[00:06:12]Trump signed a physical copy Wednesday while dining with French President Emmanuel Macron at Versailles, the palace where many historic agreements have been signed over the centuries, ending [music] wars or territorial disputes.

[00:06:27]However, Israelis sounded pessimistic as they reacted to the news about the initial agreement being signed between Washington and Tehran.

[00:06:37]>> I think this is a bad agreement for Israel.

[00:06:41]Because we didn't achieve our goals in this conflict and uh we will suffer the attacks from Lebanon and maybe from Iran.

[00:06:53]And uh this is bad bad bad for Israel.

[00:06:57]>> I really think it's bad bad bad bad bad.

[00:07:00]Like I feel like it's a shame for the process if this is where we ended up.

[00:07:07]>> I honestly don't know much about it. I just know that uh it doesn't stop the war and uh it doesn't stop the hate and uh it sucks for me because I really believed in Trump and I believe that he would end the war. I'm very disappointed in what happened because it's like of course he's putting USA first in before Israel.

[00:07:31]Um it just sucks for us. We we are still in the same situation and it's like it it bubbles up and something is going to blow up in the future and uh I hope uh not too many people are going to die.

[00:07:46]>> The truth is, I'm not very familiar with the content of the agreement. I know the guidelines. I hope it's not a purchase agreement as it's being presented. I have a lot of trust in those who hold power in the state of Israel, and I hope they won't disappoint us. However, in my belief and my creed, any agreement with a country whose sole purpose is to eliminate and destroy the state of Israel is not a good agreement.

[00:08:10]I don't believe since October 7th that agreements can be made with murderers and killers. So, I hope we won't be disappointed, and that in 4 months I am supposed to get married, but I hope we won't be disappointed and wake up to some war where we'll have to postpone events and weddings and occasions again.

[00:08:27]Hopefully, hopefully it's not as it seems.
