The New York Post, The Washington Times, Just the News and the Daily Mail report that President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone over the weekend about the Iran war. A senior Israeli official confirmed the call took place and said it was “very much not a difficult conversation.” Citing unnamed sources, Israeli media Ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the call became a “shouting match from hell” as Netanyahu pressed for the war to resume while Trump backed diplomacy. Netanyahu’s office called the shouting report “fake news, complete nonsense.” Trump later told reporters the U.S. is “locked and loaded” but that resuming military action “doesn’t seem to be a very necessary thing.”
