Trump Signs Deal But Israel Concerned it Helps Hezbollah | CBN NewsWatch - June 18, 2026

President Trump and Iran’s President sign the Memorandum of Understanding, which includes “an immediate and permanent halt to war on all fronts, including Lebanon;” it also allows Iran to retain its missiles, and regional partners will come up with a plan for the reconstruction and development of Iran; Trump says he made the deal to avoid an economic catastrophe, and he emphasizes if Iran violates the terms of the deal, they won’t get the money and he’ll return to war; Israel doesn’t like the deal with Iran, with the most pressing concern being how it involves the fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon; along with Israeli leaders, many international and political analysts also oppose the deal; Chris Mitchell talks about what Israeli officials believe about the deal, if Iran and Israel will rebuild for another future war, what Hezbollah is saying about the deal, how Israel will respond to Hezbollah attacks designed to drive it out of Lebanon, and the reaction to the deal from the Iranian people; here at home, a look at how the prediction markets have helped drive an increase in gambling, as people can wage on everything from sports, politics, and even military operations – all of which is raising concerns about insider trading and threats to national security; and how an American athlete is bringing hope and healing to Israeli communities – through basketball.
