Trump blasts Netanyahu in tense call over Hezbollah conflict, Axios reports

US President Donald Trump accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being the reason for global hatred of Israel in an angry call on Monday, Axios reported.

Earlier on Monday, Iran had threatened to stop negotiating with the US due to Israel’s action in Lebanon, prompting the call in which Trump at one point yelled at Netanyahu, “What the f*** are you doing?”

According to one US official, Trump felt that Netanyahu was reacting disproportionally to Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel. He objected to Israel destroying buildings to take out a single Hezbollah commander, and Israel’s threats against Beirut, Axios wrote.

Another source summarized part of Trump’s comments as “everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” according to Axios.

Trump also accused Netanyahu of being ungrateful, with the source saying Trump claimed the prime minister would have been in prison if not for him.
