During a heated phone call on June 1, 2026, President Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “fucking crazy” while criticizing him for continuing military actions in Lebanon. Trump reportedly told Netanyahu he was being ungrateful and risking broader conflict that could derail U.S. negotiations with Iran.

Trump later confirmed the exchange in an interview on the “Pod Force One” podcast, saying:“I did. I wouldn’t say I was angry. I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon, you know.”

He added that he and Netanyahu still “get along very well.”
