U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly delivered an expletive-laden rebuke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s recent military escalation in Lebanon, according to U.S. officials cited in media reports. In the call, Trump is said to have warned that Israeli strikes near Beirut risk undermining sensitive U.S.-led negotiations aimed at a preliminary peace agreement with Iran. He allegedly questioned Netanyahu’s judgment, referenced past U.S. political support, and cautioned that the operations were fueling global hostility toward Israel. The reported clash comes as Washington promotes a fragile de-escalation while Israel insists operations in southern Lebanon will continue and Iran threatens to suspend talks.
