Trump Blasts Netanyahu in Heated Call Over Lebanon Strike
In a tense phone call on Monday, US President Donald Trump accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of overreacting to Hezbollah attacks in Lebanon. He slammed a raid that destroyed buildings to target a single commander and demanded, “What the f*** are you doing?” Trump warned these strikes were fueling global anger towards Israel. According to US officials, he felt Netanyahu’s response was disproportionate. After the call, Trump said he persuaded Israel to turn its troops around and halt a major Beirut operation. Netanyahu later maintained that Israel’s position remained unchanged. Trump also posted that discussions with Iran were moving forward at a rapid pace. I find it ironic that, after letting Netanyahu mislead him, the US now seems entangled in this conflict. Trump clearly appears frustrated by what he views as resistance to his efforts to de-escalate the situation.
