Report: Trump upbraids Netanyahu over Lebanon, asking, ‘What the f— are you doing?’
Trump reportedly warned Netanyahu that bombing Beirut would further isolate Israel and complicate delicate talks with Iran, Axios reported.
President Trump said he urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid escalating military action in Lebanon after tensions threatened ongoing diplomatic efforts involving Iran.
Trump announced that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to halt hostilities after discussions through intermediaries, leading Israel to suspend plans for a broader offensive near Beirut.
The dispute highlighted differences between Trump and Netanyahu over Lebanon policy, with Trump prioritizing regional de-escalation while Israel maintained that it would continue responding to security threats from Hezbollah.
