President Donald Trump says he was “pissed off” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Israeli strikes in Beirut, according to comments he makes in a phone interview reported by multiple outlets. Trump tells Axios that Netanyahu “had to do” an attack, questioning the timing of the strikes as the United States sought to move toward concluding negotiations with Iran over the same weekend. Both outlets report Trump’s remarks describing his reaction as anger, using the phrase “so pissed off,” and refer to Netanyahu as “Bibi.” The reports characterize Trump’s comments as criticism of Israel’s decision to conduct strikes during a period when Washington was working to close out talks involving Iran. Neither outlet provides additional details about the specific targets, the scale of the strikes, or any direct response from the Israeli government in the materials summarized here.
