Trump Confirms He Called Netanyahu 'Crazy'
Trump said he was frustrated by Israel’s fighting in Lebanon, which he said was complicating U.S.-led efforts to reach a deal with Iran.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump acknowledged criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "crazy" during a phone call, expressing frustration that Israel's fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon is hindering peace negotiations with Iran.
- Despite these tensions, Trump insisted his relationship with Netanyahu remains solid, describing both as "wartime" leaders facing pressure to resolve the conflict amid rising energy prices and economic uncertainty.
- Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has killed 3,468 people in Lebanon and at least 27 Israeli soldiers and a defense contractor, while Hezbollah continues deploying drones against Israeli targets.
- Lebanon seeks a comprehensive ceasefire during talks in Washington, while Israel demands Hezbollah disarm before withdrawing troops from southern villages as instability persists across the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf.
- Trump remained noncommittal on a timeline for the Iran war, suggesting the Strait of Hormuz could remain blocked through September 7, even as he claimed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei continues to approve of peace talks.
