Tension between Trump and Netanyahu over Lebanon

According to a report in the American press, a harsh phone call took place between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Lebanon. According to the claim, Trump confronted Netanyahu for escalating the tension in Lebanon. The report alleged that during the call, Trump said to Netanyahu, "If it weren't for me, you would be in prison right now." The same report conveyed that Trump was displeased with Israel's recent actions. According to the claim, at the center of this displeasure was the assessment that the negotiation process with Iran was being harmed. The report also included commentary that Israel's moves in Lebanon complicated this process. The details of the conversation were based on two US officials. However, the shared information has not been supported by independent official statements. There had been previous reports of tension between Trump and Netanyahu over the Iran dossier recently. This latest claim also indicates that the tension between the two figures is reflected in regional issues. The Lebanon headline brought back to the agenda both the tension on the US-Israel line and the regional calculation related to the Iran negotiations. However, the conveyed framework is currently limited to news-level claims.
