US-Iran War News Live: Why is Herzog’s Message Drawing Attention?
The congratulatory note has attracted attention because Trump and Herzog publicly disagreed earlier this year.
During the conflict involving Iran, Trump criticised Herzog over his handling of requests linked to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial. Trump described the Israeli president as “a disgrace,” prompting Herzog to push back against the criticism.
Despite that exchange, Herzog’s latest remarks emphasised cooperation and diplomatic ties between the United States and Israel.

The birthday message comes as negotiations between Washington and Tehran move closer to a potential agreement designed to reduce tensions in the region.
While US officials have expressed optimism about the proposed deal, several Israeli political figures remain sceptical and argue that Iran could retain significant strategic capabilities under the current framework.
Israeli Opposition Raises Concerns Over Proposed Deal
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has emerged as one of the strongest critics of the developing agreement.
In a post on X, Lapid argued that the proposal does not deliver the objectives Israel sought during the conflict.
“The deal doesn’t achieve any of Israel’s war goals — the regime survives, the missile program is intact, and Iran can rebuild the nuclear program.”
He further described the agreement as a major setback for Israeli security interests.
Lapid called the arrangement a “total failure” and accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of failing to convert military achievements into lasting diplomatic gains.
According to Lapid, the proposed agreement could leave Israel dependent on decisions made elsewhere regarding its security.

Donald Trump has repeatedly argued that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons remains a key objective of the proposed agreement.
In a Truth Social post, Trump addressed the future of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and suggested the material would eventually be removed and neutralised.
“When all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust… and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States.”
Trump also expressed confidence that diplomacy could succeed, but warned that other options remain available if negotiations fail.
“Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly.”
“If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!”
