Iran war live: Trump in sweary call to Netanyahu as he says 'everyone hates you'
Donald Trump reportedly berated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a profanity-laced phone call, calling him 'f****** crazy' and warning that Israel's actions risked global backlash. Meanwhile, clashes between Israel and Hezbollah resumed despite a US-brokered ceasefire, with Israeli strikes in Lebanon killing civilians and damaging infrastructure, while protests in Israel over mandatory military conscription for ultra-Orthodox men deepened political instability." "article": "Donald Trump allegedly confronted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a heated phone call on June 1, using profanity to express frustration over Israel’s military actions in Lebanon. A US official told Axios that Trump said, 'You're f***ing crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me,' adding that Israel's strikes were alienating global support. Trump claimed to have intervened to halt escalation after Iran threatened retaliation, stating that Israeli troops were recalled from Beirut following his intervention. Despite Trump’s reported intervention, clashes between Israel and Hezbollah continued, violating a US-brokered ceasefire. Hezbollah reported 41 attacks on Israel in response to what it called Israeli violations, including strikes on civilian areas in southern Lebanon. An Israeli airstrike killed at least four people in Marwaniyeh, while another strike damaged a hospital in Tyre, according to Al Jazeera. France’s foreign minister, Jean-Noel Barrot, condemned Israel’s military operations in Lebanon, stating that nothing justified prolonged occupation of Lebanese territory. The conflict has strained Netanyahu’s government, as ultra-Orthodox parties withdrew support over mandatory military conscription, risking early elections. Protests by ultra-Orthodox Israelis blocked roads and trains nationwide, highlighting divisions over military service exemptions. Trump also claimed progress in negotiations with Iran to extend a ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting an agreement could be reached 'over the next week.' He told ABC News that a 'glitch' in the ceasefire—Israel’s attacks on Lebanon—was resolved after he spoke with Hezbollah and Netanyahu. The situation remains volatile, with civilian casualties and political unrest escalating in both Israel and Lebanon.
