Caption: Trump Confirms He Called Netanyahu ‘Crazy’ During Heated Phone Call. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed he called Benjamin Netanyahu “crazy” during a heated phone conversation about the fighting in Lebanon. Speaking on a podcast, Trump said he was frustrated by Israel’s continued military actions while the U.S. was trying to negotiate an end to the wider regional conflict. According to reports, Trump told Netanyahu that the fighting needed to stop and warned that Israel’s international standing was suffering. Despite the exchange, Trump insisted he still has a strong relationship with the Israeli leader and said the pair “get along very well.” Netanyahu declined to discuss the details of the call but said disagreements between the two men were merely “tactical” and compared them to disputes within a family. Iran has reportedly linked any future agreement with Washington to a ceasefire that also includes Lebanon, where Israel continues operations against Hezbollah. Fighting has persisted despite a U.S.-brokered agreement aimed at reducing tensions, with fresh Israeli strikes reported in southern Lebanon. Trump also rejected suggestions that Netanyahu manipulated him into attacking Iran, insisting he acted to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
