On Monday, President Trump reportedly used an expletive-laden phone call to scold Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over military escalations in Lebanon.
Trump’s frustration reportedly centered on concerns that Israel’s continued strikes are ruining ceasefire negotiations and making the U.S. and Israel "loved" globally. The U.S. President allegedly told Netanyahu he is "f**king crazy" and warned that Israel would be "on its own" if military aggression does not stop. While Israeli diplomats downplayed the incident as a temporary friction, it marks a significant public break in the historically tight alliance between the two leaders.
The world is now watching to see if Netanyahu will proceed with a planned bombing campaign in Beirut or yield to Trump's demand for a truce.
