Netanyahu and Trump Have Another Clash
According to the Financial Times, Netanyahu has been planning to call Trump every evening to urge him to swiftly resume military action against Iran. On November 10, Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth confirmed the report, citing an Israeli official who said Netanyahu has been persistently pressing Trump daily—just over the weekend, the two reportedly engaged in a heated argument during a phone conversation.
The official added that Netanyahu has been actively lobbying Trump to restart military operations against Iran, a move that has drawn significant concern among Arab leaders. Within the White House, officials opposed to renewed conflict are also working to prevent such a development. Last weekend, tensions escalated between Trump and Netanyahu over whether to resume hostilities with Iran.
Multiple sources said the atmosphere during the call was exceptionally tense, with sharp disagreements on the issue of war, marked by direct confrontation. One source described the exchange as “a screaming dialogue straight out of hell.”
In fact, Trump himself has shown little appetite for further military engagement, particularly after the U.S.-Iran conflict contributed to Republican losses in the midterm elections. Facing nightly calls from Netanyahu demanding action, Trump has grown increasingly frustrated. The high emotional stakes make it easy for conversations to escalate into disputes.
This is not the first time Trump has clashed with Netanyahu. Earlier, over the Lebanon issue, Trump reportedly berated Netanyahu in a telephone call with considerable intensity.
