In a contentious phone call on Monday, US President Donald Trump lambasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of being the reason for rising global animosity towards Israel. This exchange was prompted by Iran's threats to cease negotiations with the US over Israel's military actions in Lebanon. During the call, Trump expressed his frustration, stating, “What the f*** are you doing?” and criticized Netanyahu's disproportionate military response to Hezbollah's attacks, particularly the destruction of buildings to eliminate a single commander. Despite Netanyahu's assurances that Israel's position remained unchanged, a US official noted that Trump effectively pressured him into canceling planned attacks on Beirut. Following the call, Trump announced on Truth Social that Netanyahu had “turned his Troops around” and indicated that discussions with Iran were proceeding rapidly. The call has been described as one of the most difficult exchanges between Trump and Netanyahu since the beginning of Trump's second term.
