Svmuu News: Li Zixin, an assistant researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, stated that Israel certainly cannot prevent the signing of the memorandum of understanding itself.Israel is not a direct party to the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding and holds no veto power. Moreover, given the immense domestic political pressure currently facing the White House, it is even more difficult for Israel to influence the will of the president himself. Donald TrumpTherefore, while Israel cannot prevent the U.S.-Iran signing, it has never needed a formal veto to disrupt the process; instead, it habitually undermines the conditions for a ceasefire by creating facts on the ground.The extent of Israel’s influence on the situation depends, on the one hand, on U.S. influence, and on the other, on Iran’s reaction. Given that both the U.S. and Iran have strong incentives to achieve a ceasefire, Israel is unlikely to completely derail the current momentum. However, the Israeli military can still continuously create friction at a low-intensity level, objectively increasing the difficulty for the U.S. and Iran to reach a final ceasefire agreement.
