Okay, okay, just make sure everything is handled properly.

Netanyahu's response was reportedly subdued, with him saying, "Okay, okay, just make sure everything is handled properly."

Following this heated exchange, Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, describing the call as "very productive." He claimed that Israel and Hezbollah would cease mutual attacks and that Israeli forces would not advance into Beirut. However, Netanyahu issued a statement indicating that the Israeli military would continue its operations in southern Lebanon as planned.

The White House has not commented on the reported "intense" phone call.
