President Donald Trump says he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “crazy” during a heated phone call, confirming a separate report about his language. Trump, however, states that despite the remark, he and Netanyahu “get along very well.” NPR reports that the conversation included Trump using profanity and urging Netanyahu not to bomb Beirut, linking the tense exchange to differing positions on potential military action in Lebanon’s capital. The West Australian similarly reports that Trump has verified he used foul language toward Netanyahu, while also emphasizing that the two leaders maintain a strong working relationship. Across both accounts, the central points are that Trump acknowledges the “crazy” comment and that the call was confrontational in tone, with Trump pressing Netanyahu on what he should do regarding Beirut. Both sources characterize the remark as part of a broader dispute within the phone call rather than an indication of a breakdown in relations.
