Tough Trump-Netanyahu call reveals disagreement over Iran war
According to a report by Arutz Sheva citing Axios, new details have emerged regarding Saturday's telephone conversation between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, revealing a disagreement over the timing of renewed military operations against Iran. An Israeli source described the conversation as tough, while an American source characterized it as direct. According to the report, Netanyahu has been pressing Trump to launch another military offensive against Iran immediately following the US midterm elections. Trump, however, is currently inclined to continue diplomatic efforts before deciding whether to resume major combat operations, a position that has reportedly caused concern in Jerusalem. The White House and the Prime Minister's Office declined to comment on the call. These developments come amid parallel diplomatic efforts involving Qatari mediators and recent military briefings given to Trump by US Central Command leadership.
