Trump's fury at Netanyahu: 'You're crazy, without me you'd be in jail'

Former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly engaged in a highly critical phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pressuring him to halt operations in Lebanon. According to Axios, Trump told Netanyahu, "You're crazy. Without me, you'd be in jail," accusing the Israeli leader of ingratitude and stating that "everyone hates Israel" because of him.

The intense conversation aimed to prevent Netanyahu's actions from jeopardizing ongoing negotiations with Iran. Trump allegedly demanded an immediate stop to Israeli operations targeting Beirut. Following this direct confrontation, the Israeli prime minister reportedly ordered a halt to the fighting, despite facing domestic criticism for appearing to be a "vassal" and not defending Israeli sovereignty.

Sei un pazzo. Senza di me saresti in galera

Despite the reported ceasefire, clashes between Israel and Hezbollah continued, with Hezbollah claiming responsibility for attacks after the announced halt. This exchange occurred as Lebanon and Israel resumed U.S.-mediated negotiations in Washington. The Trump administration views the situation in Lebanon as a minor "hiccup" that has been "resolved quickly," emphasizing continued work toward an agreement with Iran.

Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio faced sharp criticism during a Senate hearing regarding the Iran negotiations. Senator Chris Van Hollen called Trump's foreign policy a "total disaster," while Rubio defended the administration's efforts, stating that Iran cannot obtain nuclear weapons and is willing to discuss aspects of its nuclear program. Rubio expressed confidence in reaching an agreement soon, highlighting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as a key negotiation point.

Non può avere l'arma nucleare e ha accettato di discutere alcuni aspetti del suo programma nucleare. Siamo in trattative: c'è una prospettiva davanti a noi di un accordo che potrebbe essere oggi, domani o la settimana prossima. Siamo fiduciosi
