In a recent podcast interview, US President Donald Trump confirmed that he had a heated phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which he criticized Netanyahu's military actions in Lebanon. Trump reportedly called Netanyahu 'f****** crazy' and expressed frustration over the potential impact of these actions on broader peace negotiations, particularly with Iran. Despite the expletive-laden exchange, Trump insisted that he and Netanyahu have a strong working relationship. The conversation comes amid rising tensions in the region, with Iran accusing the US of violating ceasefire agreements. Trump indicated that he has also communicated with Hezbollah through intermediaries, marking a significant diplomatic move. He expressed optimism about ongoing negotiations with Iran, claiming that they are 'rapidly evolving' and that he is close to finalizing a deal to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump also mentioned that he prefers a peaceful resolution to the conflict, although he hinted at the potential for military action if necessary.
