US President Donald Trump confirmed on Wednesday that he sharply rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call earlier this week, criticizing the continued escalation against Lebanon while acknowledging that the two leaders continue to coordinate closely.
Speaking in an interview with Miranda Devine on the Pod Force One podcast, Trump confirmed the circulated reports that he described Netanyahu as “f***ing crazy” during a Monday conversation.
“I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon,” Trump said, referring to ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon, undeterred by the ceasefire.
Despite the unusually blunt exchange, Trump noted that it did not affect the relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv. “We’ve worked very well together. I like Bibi a lot. And I work very well with him,” Trump said.
The remarks offer a public glimpse into disagreements between the US administration and "Israel", seen before during the Biden administration, wherein the former president called Netanyahu a "bad f*****g guy".
