NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
TEL AVIV, Israel: Reactions in Israel to the Memorandum of Understanding reached by President Donald Trump and Iran on Sunday have been a mix of wait-and-see-the details and outright criticism.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council confirmed on Sunday that Tehran and Washington had finalized a memorandum of understanding ending the war after months of negotiations. In a statement, the council said all military operations across multiple fronts, including in Lebanon, would cease «immediately and permanently.»
Talks on a comprehensive final agreement will reportedly begin only after both sides have implemented their obligations under the framework and are expected to continue for up to 60 days.

While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to comment, on Monday, Defense Minister Israel Katz, held back from directly criticizing the deal but said that the IDF would not withdraw from southern Lebanon, warning that if Iran attacks Israel in response to the fighting against Hezbollah, «we will strike it with full force.»
He said, «The IDF will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, without any time limit, to protect the border and Israeli communities against jihadist elements.»
Katz described the security zones as «among the IDF’s greatest achievements» in the multi-front war since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 massacre, adding that Israel therefore opposes an IDF withdrawal from Lebanon despite all the pressures that will still come.
Katz said he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had conveyed these positions to U.S. President Donald Trump and other senior American officials, including U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
«We will not compromise on Israel’s security interests and the protection of our citizens,» he concluded.

Yossi Kuperwasser, head of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security and former chief of the research division in the Israel Defense Forces’ Military Intelligence Directorate, told Fox News Digital that the details of the agreement remain sketchy.
«There was a debate within the Iranian leadership over whether to accept the deal,» he said. «It appears that the information we are hearing is coming from those who opposed it. Maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong, but it raises major concerns in Israel. If this is the deal, it is a disaster. If one listens to President Trump, the deal is probably something different.»
Kuperwasser defined a «good deal» as one in which Iran gives up all components of its nuclear program, grants access to enriched uranium and establishes a robust monitoring system capable of reaching anywhere at any time, including military facilities likely being used for atomic purposes. He added that such an agreement should also prohibit production of missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

«Lebanon’s fate is a matter to be discussed between Washington, Jerusalem, and Beirut,» Kuperwasser said. «Iran is not a party to those talks and should not be according to the Lebanese government. If Lebanon is to be part of a deal with Iran, it means Tehran has a say in Lebanese matters.»
Kuperwasser noted that Israel has lived under the shadow of Iran’s nuclear program since 1998, while noting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is uniquely positioned to assess the issue given his decades of involvement. He said it remains unclear whether Netanyahu is satisfied with the outcome or what his final assessment will be.
ISRAELI OFFICIALS REPORTEDLY WARN IRAN’S BALLISTIC MISSILES COULD TRIGGER SOLO MILITARY ACTION AGAINST TEHRAN
Former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, now leader of the opposition, referred Fox News Digital to his comments on X.
«The emerging agreement achieves none of Israel’s war goals. The regime survives, the missile program exists, and Iran can rebuild its nuclear program. This is a complete failure by Netanyahu, and in the process, he is turning us into a client state that takes orders about its national security,» he wrote.

On March 19, Prime Minister Netanyahu outlined three war objectives for the U.S.-Israel joint operation against Iran: «One, removing the nuclear threat. Second, removing the ballistic missile threat and removing both of these threats before they’re buried deep underground and become immune from aerial attack. And third, this means creating the conditions for the Iranian people to grasp their freedom, to control their destiny,» the premier stated at the time.
Dr Meir Javedanfar, Iran lecturer at Reichman University, told Fox News Digital that Israel’s most immediate concern regarding the deal is the clause dealing with Lebanon.
«There is genuine concern that this could tie Israel’s hands,» he said. «An additional concern is that Hezbollah could use this clause to regroup and strengthen its armed forces and positions along the border with Israel.»

Javedanfar said it is too early to assess whether the deal would leave Israel in a significantly stronger position than the 2015 Obama-era nuclear agreement, citing the fate of Iran’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium and its atomic infrastructure.
«Will Iran be allowed to continue enriching uranium on its soil? If yes, at what percentage? And how will the international community oversee Iran’s nuclear program? What kind of inspection program will they have? How intrusive will they be?» he added.

Israel’s controversial National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Monday insisted that the MOU does not bind the Jewish state. «Israel is not subject to the United States, and we are an independent and sovereign nation,» he tweeted, adding that Jerusalem’s duty is to its citizens, its soldiers and the Jewish people.»
He stated, «My position is clear: we are not partners to this agreement that does not ensure our security, and it does not bind us in any way,» he said, adding that while Israelis «love» the United States and «are grateful» to Trump, «the State of Israel is not a banana republic.»

On Friday, Netanyahu’s office stated that «Even though Israel is not a party to the memorandum of understanding, the Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for President Trump’s commitment that the final agreement at the conclusion of negotiations will include the removal of enriched material, the dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and the cessation of Iran’s support for its terrorist proxies in the region.»

Quoting the prime minister, the statement added that «As long as I am the Prime Minister of Israel – Iran will not have nuclear weapons. President Trump and I are in full agreement on this issue. For over 30 years, I have been at the forefront of the international struggle against Iran’s nuclear program. Were it not for this struggle, Iran would have long ago possessed atomic bombs to destroy Israel. Iran is working to destroy the Jewish state, and I am dedicating my life to preventing them from doing so. As long as I am the Prime Minister of Israel, this will not happen.»
Netanyahu’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment and referred Fox News Digital to his statement on Friday.

Copeco evaluará situación en 75 municipios de Honduras bajo alerta ante llegada del fenómeno de El Niño
Copeco evaluará esta semana las condiciones climáticas en los 75 municipios bajo alerta verde por sequía en Honduras, después de que la NOAA confirmara la presencia del fenómeno de El Niño. Las autoridades revisarán si las alertas se amplían, se reducen o se mantienen, según las proyecciones para los próximos meses.
La revisión se hará junto con los sectores que integran la Mesa de trabajo, encargada de coordinar acciones de prevención y respuesta ante los efectos de la escasez de lluvias, en especial en las regiones más vulnerables del país.
El jefe del Sistema de Alerta Temprano de Copeco, Juan José Reyes, dijo que la advertencia emitida por la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica de Estados Unidos (NOAA) obliga a las autoridades a volver a analizar el comportamiento climático y las perspectivas para los próximos meses.
“Esta semana vamos a estar haciendo un análisis profundo de cómo están las condiciones después de la oficialización que la NOAA nos indica que tenemos una advertencia del fenómeno de El Niño”, señaló el funcionario.
De acuerdo con Reyes, durante las reuniones técnicas se definirá si el número de municipios bajo alerta verde debe aumentar, reducirse o mantenerse, según las condiciones observadas en cada región y las proyecciones meteorológicas para el resto del año.
Las autoridades advirtieron que El Niño podría prolongarse hasta inicios de 2027 y generar efectos acumulativos sobre la disponibilidad de agua, la producción agrícola y los medios de vida de miles de familias hondureñas.
Los análisis tomarán en cuenta los niveles de precipitación registrados durante las últimas semanas, la humedad de los suelos, la disponibilidad de recursos hídricos y las perspectivas climáticas para la temporada de canícula.
El jefe del Centro Nacional de Estudios Atmosféricos, Oceanográficos y Sísmicos (Cenaos), Francisco Argeñal, advirtió que el fenómeno se perfila como un evento de intensidad considerable, con una reducción de lluvias en amplias zonas del territorio nacional.
Según explicó, una de las principales consecuencias será una canícula más prolongada, acompañada de un déficit de precipitaciones que podría superar el 40% en algunas regiones.
“Esto nos va a generar un déficit de lluvia de más de un 40 %, afectando sobre todo la parte sur del corredor seco de Honduras”, alertó Argeñal.
El especialista indicó que las condiciones previstas podrían agravar la vulnerabilidad de comunidades que históricamente enfrentan problemas de acceso al agua y pérdidas recurrentes en la producción agrícola por las sequías.
Las proyecciones generan preocupación en el sector agropecuario, ya que una reducción de las lluvias podría afectar de forma directa la producción de maíz y frijol, cultivos centrales para la alimentación de la población hondureña.
Desce COPECO advirtieron que una caída en los rendimientos agrícolas podría repercutir en el abastecimiento de alimentos y provocar aumentos en los precios de productos esenciales de la canasta básica.
Además, el impacto sería mayor en las comunidades del corredor seco, donde miles de familias dependen de la agricultura de subsistencia y son especialmente vulnerables a los efectos de la variabilidad climática.
Ante este escenario, las instituciones que integran la Mesa Antisequía trabajan en la identificación de medidas preventivas para reducir los efectos de la sequía y fortalecer la capacidad de respuesta de las comunidades más expuestas.
Las autoridades también reiteraron la importancia de monitorear de forma constante la evolución del fenómeno de El Niño y mantener mecanismos de coordinación entre los distintos sectores para anticipar posibles escenarios de afectación.

FIRST ON FOX: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a Brazilian illegal immigrant, who authorities say previously served as the commander of two designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations, after allegedly attempting to flee a North Carolina traffic stop while preparing to escape to Mexico.
Felipe Linares de Oliveira Dell Aquilla, known as «Don,» was arrested June 5 in Mooresville, North Carolina, after allegedly leading law enforcement on a vehicle pursuit that ended in a crash before his arrest, according to a Department of Homeland Security press release obtained by Fox News Digital.
Federal authorities say Dell Aquilla was wanted in Brazil on charges of criminal association and extortion and had been preparing to leave the United States for Mexico.
Dell Aquilla previously served as a commander within the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (CV), two Brazil-based criminal organizations that were recently designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations by the Trump administration, according to DHS.

«This arrest demonstrates the unwavering commitment of HSI to protect our communities from dangerous international criminals,» Mark M. Zito, special agent in charge of HSI in North and South Carolina, said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital.
«By removing a known leader of violent foreign terrorist organizations — wanted for serious crimes including criminal association and extortion — we have prevented further harm to innocent people here and abroad,» Zito said.

Law enforcement intelligence indicated Dell Aquilla was holding his wife against her will as he plotted his escape to Mexico. Authorities said investigators later interviewed his wife, who confirmed she had been held against her will.
Investigators said Dell Aquilla led authorities on a pursuit after officers initiated a traffic stop. The chase ended when he crashed into stopped traffic and allegedly attempted to flee on foot before being taken into custody.
A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of multiple cellphones, laptops, cash and a 9 mm handgun, according to DHS.

«Our agents, working alongside dedicated state and local law enforcement partners, acted swiftly and decisively to ensure this individual will no longer threaten the safety of our neighborhoods,» Zito said.
«HSI will continue to pursue those who endanger our communities and bring them to justice.»
Dell Aquilla was transported to a county jail and faces a state felony charge of fleeing to elude arrest. HSI is pursuing additional charges of kidnapping and being an alien in possession of a firearm, according to DHS. ICE has also lodged a detainer on him.
Dell Aquilla illegally entered the United States «at an unknown date and location,» according to federal authorities.
