"[T]here is a chance that the Americans will try to compensate Israel somehow if we stop fighting against this deal"

“Ironically, just because of this deal, there is a chance that the Americans will try to compensate Israel somehow if we stop fighting against this deal, and we should exploit it in a smart way,” Giora Eiland, a former Israeli national security adviser, said in an interview Friday, noting that Mr. Obama “rushed to call” Mr. Netanyahu and “tried to be as nice as he could.”

Mr. Eiland was one of several Israeli analysts who said the emphasis should turn to strengthening the verification procedures in the deal and clarifying the consequences if Iran violates it. “If Netanyahu chooses this option, at least we can gain some other benefits from the situation rather than to continue to blame and to undermine,” he said. “The time has come to make a real reassessment in regard to the Israel-American relationship.”…

But several Israeli commentators said Friday that the deal looked better than expected, noting that even if it only delays Iran from producing a nuclear weapon by its decade-long duration, that is far longer than what an Israeli or American military strike could achieve.

“Even Israel could learn to live with it,” wrote Ron Ben-Yishai, a security analyst for the news site Ynet. “Put simply, Obama is offering an olive branch to Netanyahu in an attempt to cooperate on the design of the final agreement over the next three months. The Israeli government should warmly embrace the offer without batting an eye.”
