One of the reasons for the formation of this government, for all its weaknesses, was the belief that the Americans, the democratic government, should be aligned with the issue of returning to the nuclear agreement.
Senior security officials, led by Defense Minister Ganz, have opposed Netanyahu's policy on the Iranian nuclear issue all along.
A reflection of the psychology of those security captains can be found in the behavior of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Millie, who convinced himself that President Trump in his last days was dangerous and decided, under the influence of senior Democratic politicians, to take steps to stop Trump in an emergency.
Ganz's statement that "Israel will be able to live with a new nuclear agreement" indicates that the government has given up on an independent policy vis-à-vis the Iranian nuclear program.
He even proposes to involve China in persuading the Iranians.
These are unfortunate statements, given the results of negotiations with the Iranians over surveillance at the nuclear sites. By and large, the Iranians have agreed to allow the installation of cameras, but will not let the memory card inspectors watch what is shown there.

According to some estimates, despite all the conciliatory acrobatics of the United States and the superpowers, it is not clear that the Iranians will return to the agreement. Ready, to keep it away for a year or a few months from developing one or two atomic bombs, the sanctions will be removed from it and it will gain a huge economic gain.
Iran is using nuclear blackmail to obtain a generous economic gift from the international community, with the help of which it will be able to tighten the missile siege on Israel.
Through its missions, it will continue to stabilize hegemony in the Middle East. The policy of maximum pressure, combined with covert military activity, has pushed Iran to land and halted its progress toward nuclear weapons. It knew that beyond a certain threshold, Israel or the United States would act against it.
Ganz and Bennett are signaling to the Americans and to the whole world that Israel is returning to depend on the United States, even after the collapse in Afghanistan, when it is clear that the Biden administration is not prepared to take any action against Iran.
