Trump confirms he called Netanyahu ‘crazy,’ as he says Israel is complicating peace talks with Iran
Trump said he urged Netanyahu to halt Lebanon strikes as civilian deaths rose and Iran threatened to leave U.S. peace talks.
- President Donald Trump confirmed he lambasted Benjamin Netanyahu as "f**king crazy" during a tense Monday phone call, confirming explosive leaks regarding their profane exchange over Israel's military escalation in Lebanon.
- Trump clarified that he was "perturbed" by Israel's disproportionate strikes on Hezbollah, openly stating that the ongoing military campaign in Lebanon is bottlenecking and complicating crucial U.S. peace talks with Iran.
- The president noted that he successfully "steamrolled" the Israeli Prime Minister during the call, effectively blocking a planned high-casualty Israeli offensive on Beirut and demanding that Netanyahu align with regional de-escalation efforts.
- U.S. officials emphasized that the clash stems from conflicting diplomatic agendas, as Iran has explicitly conditioned any broader peace treaty or reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on a comprehensive ceasefire that includes Lebanon.
- Despite the explosive language, Trump maintained that his personal relationship with Netanyahu remains solid, telling reporters that they ultimately connect well because they are both "wartime" leaders handling a rapidly changing security landscape.
