President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu engaged in a heated phone confrontation over the future of the Iran war, with one source describing the exchange as a “shouting match from hell.”
According to Israeli media reports cited by the New York Post, the weekend call centered on Netanyahu’s push to resume military strikes against Iran and Trump’s preference for allowing diplomatic negotiations towards peace to continue. Netanyahu has argued that renewed military action and regime change are necessary to eliminate the Iranian threat, while Trump has indicated he sees no immediate need to restart the war.
A senior Israeli official confirmed the two leaders spoke over the weekend but disputed the characterization of the conversation, saying it was “very much not a difficult conversation.”
The report follows claims that Netanyahu has been calling Trump daily to push for renewed military action against Iran. The two leaders have had previous heated exchanges over the conflict, including a June phone call during which Trump called Netanyahu “f***ing crazy.”
