During a tense phone call on June 2, 2020, US President Donald Trump criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel's military actions in Lebanon, which Trump deemed excessive in response to Hezbollah attacks. A US official reported that Trump was particularly frustrated with the destruction of entire buildings to target individual Hezbollah commanders. He warned Netanyahu that such actions were leading to increased international hostility towards Israel, stating, 'Everybody hates you now.' The call escalated to the point where Trump yelled, 'What the f* are you doing?' at Netanyahu. Following the conversation, Netanyahu's office reaffirmed Israel's position, indicating no change in strategy. However, sources indicated that Trump had effectively dominated the discussion. Trump later shared on Truth Social that Netanyahu had altered military plans based on his requests, emphasizing the ongoing diplomatic engagement with Iran despite the tensions with Israel.
