“I spoke to President Trump this evening and told him that if Hezbollah does not stop attacking our cities and our citizens, Israel will strike terrorist targets in Beirut”: this was stated by Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. “Our position remains unchanged. At the same time, the Israel Defense Forces will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon,” said the prime minister as reported by Haaretz.
US President Donald Trump then lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a “crazy man” during their last phone call.
According to rumors from Axios, Trump clearly expressed his disappointment towards the head of the Israeli government in a conversation yesterday full of expletives, in which he accused him of being ungrateful.
«You’re crazy. You’d be in prison without me. I’m saving your skin. Everyone hates you. Everyone hates Israel for this,” thundered the head of the White House according to Axios sources.
According to the sources, Trump is aware that Hezbollah attacked Israel and that Israel needed to defend itself, but believes that Netanyahu has escalated disproportionately in recent days.
