Israeli Estimates: Trump May Announce a Ceasefire with Iran by Next Saturday

Translation by SadaNews - Channel 12 reported that Israel is preparing for the possibility of Trump announcing a ceasefire by next Saturday, although it is not certain that this will happen, as the president may decide otherwise. This is currently the basic assumption. Additionally, according to SadaNews's translation, "In Israel, they cannot be sure of Trump's viewpoint at the moment. However, the assumption, with necessary reservations that Trump can change direction at any moment, is that the American president may announce a ceasefire by next Saturday, even if he does not reach definitive and conclusive agreements with them." It was confirmed that in preparation for all possible scenarios, the political and security leadership agreed in recent days to maximize achievements by establishing a hierarchy of objectives that are important for Israel to achieve before potential pressure from the United States. It was noted that if this ceasefire does occur, Israel will be able to achieve these objectives; if it does not happen, the arrangement of objectives will continue over time with the establishment of new goals. This matter is being discussed this evening in a limited meeting, and the cabinet will also meet this evening. Senior Israeli officials stated that the likelihood of reaching a detailed and precise agreement between Iran and the United States is very low, but the possibility of having a framework agreement remains a reasonable option, and thus preparations should be made for it.
