The most tense conversation Trump and Netanyahu ever had

The recent conversation between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the most tense between the two leaders, while the leaking of its details to the media caused political damage to Netanyahu ahead of the upcoming elections, reported the Reuters agency, citing Israeli officials who requested anonymity. On Tuesday, Axios reported, citing government officials, that Trump lost his temper and used abusive language during a phone call with Netanyahu.

Later, Trump confirmed that he lashed out at the Israeli prime minister, expressing his dissatisfaction with the continuation of the conflict between Israel and Lebanon. "Israeli officials admitted that this conversation was one of the most tense the Prime Minister has ever had with Trump. One of the officials stated that the leak of information regarding the conversation caused political damage to Netanyahu ahead of this year's elections," the Reuters report states. Netanyahu himself had previously rejected, in an interview with CNBC, the claims of certain media outlets regarding a rift in his relationship with Trump. For his part, the American president has also stated that he maintains a very good relationship with the Israeli prime minister.
