What Trump reportedly said during his sweary phone call with Netanyahu

  • Donald Trump reportedly had an expletive-laden phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing fury over Israel's ongoing strikes in Lebanon.
  • During the call, Trump allegedly told Netanyahu that 'everybody hates Israel' because of his actions and called him 'f***ing crazy', according to US media reports.
  • Publicly, Trump announced a 'very productive' call and a partial truce between Israel and Hezbollah, claiming an agreement for all shooting to stop.
  • However, Netanyahu subsequently stated that Israel would continue to attack terror targets in Beirut if Hezbollah did not cease attacks, and the IDF would proceed with operations in southern Lebanon.
  • The phone call occurred amidst escalating tensions, with Israel detecting missile launches from Lebanon shortly after Trump's announcement, and Iran asserting that any US-Tehran ceasefire includes Lebanon.
