Trump sharply criticises Netanyahu over Lebanon war

Donald Trump expressed sharp criticism to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call over the escalation of the conflict in Lebanon. Axios reports from multiple sources that the conversation was one of the most difficult between them.

Former US President Donald Trump held an extremely tense phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he sharply criticised him over the escalation of the ongoing military conflict in Lebanon. The contents of the conversation were revealed by Axios, citing multiple sources.

According to the sources, it was one of the most difficult conversations Trump and Netanyahu have ever had. Trump made clear to the Israeli Prime Minister that he was unhappy with his actions in Lebanon, posing direct and very harsh questions about the continuation of military operations.

This development is noteworthy, given that Trump has traditionally been one of Israel's strongest supporters on the US political landscape. The tensions between the two leaders suggest that the military situation in Lebanon has caused serious concern in the international community, even among Israel's closest allies.

The Lebanon conflict has intensified significantly in recent months, with international pressure for a ceasefire growing. The US has played a mediating role in achieving regional peace, making Trump's critical stance a sign of growing frustration over the continuation of military operations.
