  • U.S. President Donald Trump harshly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over Israel's attack on Beirut.
  • Trump expressed anger, stating Netanyahu lacked "any judgment" and that the attack delayed a crucial Iran deal signing.
  • Trump urged both sides to de-escalate, emphasizing the imminent peace agreement with Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump unleashed strong criticism against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing fury over Israel's recent attack on Beirut. Trump stated he was "so angry" about the strike, questioning why Netanyahu felt compelled to launch such an assault, particularly at a time when a peace agreement with Iran was on the verge of being signed. He explicitly declared that Netanyahu possesses "absolutely no judgment."

Speaking to Fox News, Trump revealed he had spoken directly with Netanyahu, telling him, "What the hell are you doing?" The U.S. President emphasized that Israel's attack on Beirut had delayed the signing of a deal with Iran, which was scheduled for that morning. He indicated the agreement was expected to be signed electronically within hours and in person the following week in Europe.

Trump urged all parties involved to exercise restraint, highlighting that a peace agreement with Iran was close to being finalized. This deal, he suggested, would bring peace to the region, including Lebanon. He called for an end to Israeli attacks in Lebanon and for other parties, including Hezbollah, to cease attacks against Israel.

However, shortly after the Israeli strike near Beirut, Hezbollah continued its attacks on northern Israel. The Israeli military reported multiple impacts in border areas between Israel and Lebanon, though no injuries were immediately reported. The ongoing hostilities have cast a shadow over the negotiations with Iran, with the Iranian government questioning the potential framework agreement with the U.S. following the Beirut attacks.
