Rome, 2 June (LaPresse) – During a phone call full of insults, US President Donald Trump reportedly lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s escalation in Lebanon. This is reported by Axios, citing two US officials and a third source with knowledge of the conversation. Yesterday, Iran threatened to walk away from negotiations with the United States due to Israel’s actions in Lebanon. And, as Axios reports, during the phone call, Trump called Netanyahu “crazy” and accused him of ingratitude. The website quotes a US official summarising Trump’s message to Netanyahu: “You’re completely crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your a**. Now everyone hates you. Everyone hates Israel because of this.”
