An Israeli source has disputed a report claiming that US President Donald Trump insulted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a tense phone call regarding Israel's military plans against Hezbollah in Beirut. The source clarified that the disagreement stemmed from the messaging following the call, rather than personal insults. Reports indicated that Trump expressed frustration over Netanyahu's military strategy, particularly regarding the destruction of buildings to target a single Hezbollah commander. Following the call, Trump announced a ceasefire, emphasizing that Israel would not deploy troops into Beirut and that Hezbollah had agreed to cease attacks. This decision faced backlash from Israeli officials, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who urged Netanyahu to assert more independence from US directives. Opposition figures, including Yair Lapid, criticized Netanyahu's handling of the situation, suggesting he acted as if Israel were under US control. The call's fallout reflects ongoing tensions in the region amid US-Iran negotiations and Israel's security concerns.
