Trump confirms calling Netanyahu 'crazy' over constant fights with Lebanon [View all]
President Trump confirmed he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “f—king crazy” during a heated phone conversation earlier this week, citing frustrations with Israel’s military operations in Lebanon that are complicating efforts to secure a peace agreement with Iran.
“I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon,” Trump said in an interview released Wednesday with the New York Post’s “Pod Force One,” confirming earlier reporting by Axios about the profane conversation.
Israel’s attacks against Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon have stalled negotiations between Washington and Tehran to bring an end to the more than three-month war in Iran. The regime has insisted Israel stop its military campaign against Hezbollah before a deal can be reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or reform Iran’s nuclear program.
The president added that he and Netanyahu have nevertheless “worked very well together.”
“I like Bibi a lot. And I work very well with him,” Trump told host Miranda Devine. “I’m a wartime president. He’s a wartime prime minister.”
