US President Donald Trump has reportedly lashed out at Israeli Prime\nMinister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing Netanyahu\u2019s actions in Lebanon\nas \u2018crazy\u2019.<\/p>\n
According to reports from Axios on Tuesday (2\/6\/2026), two US\nofficials and a third source stated that Trump expressed his fury during\na telephone conversation on Monday (1\/6) local time. Trump was\nreportedly incensed by the Israeli military\u2019s increased attacks in\nLebanon. The President\u2019s anger stems from concerns that Israel\u2019s\noperations against the Hezbollah militia group in Lebanon risk\nundermining US diplomacy with Iran and damaging efforts to maintain a\nfragile regional ceasefire.<\/p>\n
\u2018You are fucking crazy. What are you doing?\u2019 Trump reportedly\nexclaimed to Netanyahu, according to the report. Trump made these\nremarks after learning of the Israeli military actions in Lebanon. Axios\nalso reported that Trump touched upon the legal issues currently facing\nNetanyahu during the call. Trump reminded the Israeli Prime Minister\nthat he had openly defended Netanyahu and sought to assist him\npolitically. This outburst occurred after Trump had previously stated\nthat Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to cease fighting.<\/p>\n
Trump also noted that discussions with Iran are continuing following\na deadlock caused by the Israeli attacks in Lebanon. According to AFP\nand Anadolu Agency, Trump stated on social media that Netanyahu had\npromised not to deploy troops to the southern outskirts of Beirut as\npreviously threatened, while Hezbollah had agreed that \u2018all shooting\nwould stop\u2019.<\/p>\n
These comments follow reports from the Iranian news agency, Tasnim,\nstating that Tehran has suspended dialogue with mediators as a protest\nagainst the expansion of Israeli attacks in Lebanon against its ally,\nHezbollah. \u2018I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi\nNetanyahu of Israel, and no troops will be going to Beirut, and any\ntroops that were on their way have been sent back,\u2019 Trump wrote.\n\u2018Similarly, through high-ranking representatives, I had a very good call\nwith Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting would stop\u2014that Israel\nwill not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.\u2019<\/p>\n
In a separate post minutes later, Trump stated that \u2018negotiations\ncontinue, rapidly, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Thank you for your\nattention to this matter!\u2019.<\/p>\n
Despite Trump\u2019s claims of having persuaded both parties to halt\nfighting, Netanyahu remains adamant that the military will continue its\nstrikes in southern Lebanon, claiming they target Hezbollah militants.\n\u2018I spoke tonight with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah\ndoes not stop attacking our cities and our citizens, Israel will strike\nterror targets in Beirut,\u2019 Netanyahu said in a statement reported by\nYedioth Ahronoth and Anadolu Agency. \u2018Our position remains unchanged. At\nthe same time, the military will continue to operate as planned in\nsouthern Lebanon.\u2019<\/p>\n
Israeli media previously reported that the telephone conversation\ntook place amidst the escalation of Israeli military operations in\nLebanon and hours after Netanyahu ordered airstrikes in Beirut. The\nIsraeli public broadcaster, KAN, reported that Tel Aviv had originally\nplanned to bomb the southern outskirts of Beirut on Monday morning but\ndecided to delay the operation due to US intervention.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military escalation in Lebanon has triggered stern\nwarnings from Iran, an ally of Hezbollah. Mohsen Rezaei, an advisor to\nIran\u2019s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, warned Israel that further\nescalation in Lebanon \u2018will not be tolerated\u2019. In a post on the social\nmedia platform X, Rezaei asserted that \u2018the patience of the Armed Forces\nof the Islamic Republic of Iran has limits\u2019.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/trump-outburst-directed-at-netanyahu-1780859387", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
