Israel Lebanon Iran War

President Donald Trump acknowledged criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “crazy” in a phone call that involved expletives. Trump discussed the tension between the two leaders in an interview released Wednesday. He said he was “a little bit perturbed” that Israel’s fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon was holding back peace talks with Iran. But the president insisted that his relationship with Netanyahu was solid and that they connected, in part, because they are both wartime leaders. The interview with The New York Post’s “Pod Force One” offered a sign of the growing pressure Trump faces to resolve the Iran war.
