It said that Trump called Netanyahu \u201ccrazy\u201d and accused him of ingratitude, according to two of the sources, and also halted Israel\u2019s plan to strike Beirut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Monday, Trump said he had spoken to Netanyahu and through unnamed representatives with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netanyahu agreed to call off a military raid on Beirut while Hezbollah agreed \u201call shooting will stop,\u201d Trump said on his Truth Social platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s comments came after Iran\u2019s news agency&nbsp;<em>Tasnim<\/em>&nbsp;reported Tehran had suspended dialogue with mediators in protest of Israel\u2019s expanding offensive in Lebanon against Hezbollah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, Trump said he was not aware whether Iran had suspended the talks. He then told&nbsp;<em>CNBC<\/em>&nbsp;that he did not care if the talks were over. But soon afterwards, he moved swiftly to allay Iranian concerns over the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to&nbsp;<em>Axios<\/em>, Trump told Netanyahu during the call that following through on his threats to bomb Beirut would further isolate Israel around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to two of the sources, the US president also stated that he \u201chelped keep Netanyahu out of jail\u201d, which the publication said was a reference to his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1920918\">support&nbsp;<\/a>during Netanyahu\u2019s corruption trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSummarising Trump\u2019s remarks to Netanyahu, the US official said: \u2018You\u2019re f****** crazy. You\u2019d be in prison if it weren\u2019t for me. I\u2019m saving your a**. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,\u2019\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The publication also said that Trump was \u201cpissed\u201d and at one point yelled at Netanyahu: \u201cWhat the f*** are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnother US official said Trump was concerned by the fact that Israel had killed so many civilians in Lebanon, and objected to the Israelis knocking down buildings to take out a single Hezbollah commander,\u201d&nbsp;<em>Axios<\/em>&nbsp;reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne official said this was one of Trump\u2019s worst calls with Netanyahu since he returned to office,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For its part, the Israeli prime minister office said after the call that Netanyahu told Trump that Tel Aviv would strike Beirut if Hezbollah \u201cdoes not stop firing at our cities and citizens\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also said Israel would continue military operations in southern Lebanon, where ground forces are pushing toward the Zaharani River, their deepest incursion in Lebanon in 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However,&nbsp;<em>Axios<\/em>&nbsp;reported, citing a US official, that Trump \u201csteamrolled\u201d Netanyahu on the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBibi said, \u2018OK, OK, just make sure everything is taken care of,\u2019\u201d according to the official,\u201d the publication reported, adding that Netanyahu\u2019s office did not respond to a request for comment.
