A “shouting match from hell” reportedly erupted between President Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to a report from the Israeli news outlet Ynet, sources said that a phone call between the two leaders over renewed attacks on Iran was “difficult,” with one of them describing the conversation as degenerating into a “shouting match from hell,” with Netanyahu demanding military action. The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth also reported on the alleged phone call.
JUST IN: President Trump reportedly CLASHED with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend in what one source told Ynet was “a shouting match from hell.”
Netanyahu is also reportedly calling POTUS DAILY to lobby him to resume strikes on Iran, according to the Financial Times.
The Prime Minister’s office REJECTED the account of the call, calling it “Fake news, complete nonsense,” according to Ynet.

With the Republican decimation in last week’s midterm elections being largely attributed to public dissatisfaction with the Iran war and sky-high prices at the pump, it’s probably understandable why Trump would be hesitant to restart full-scale combat operations.
But Netanyahu has no such reservations and has been urging the U.S. leader to give the green light to further military strikes on the Islamic Republic, regardless of the risk of further political damage to the GOP that could spill over into the 2028 political season, which will kick off next year.
Trump prefers pressuring the Iranian regime through economic strangulation, which the administration insists will work if given time and if tough negotiations are allowed to play out.
The Islamic Republic’s economy is in ruins, and now the U.S. is tightening the screws with a land blockade as well.
But to Bibi, it’s always bombs away, and considering he just lost his own election, the window of opportunity for what some hope will be a decisive final series of strikes to topple the regime could be closing.
“Iran is working to renew the nuclear threat. The only way to permanently remove this existential threat is by toppling the ayatollah regime,” Netanyahu claimed in his speech during the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset.
“Soon we will face international pressure to accept a nuclear Iran and the continued existence of the regime of terror that seeks to destroy us,” the Israeli leader said.
The prime minister’s office rejected reports of the “shouting match from hell,” which it described as “fake news” and “complete nonsense,” according to Ynet.
The outlet reported that “A senior Israeli official confirmed that the call took place but likewise insisted it was ‘very much not a difficult conversation,’ contradicting the accounts given by other sources.”
“Bibi Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition, including that coming from even Israel, itself,” Trump said in an October post to Truth Social endorsing the Israeli leader for reelection, praising him as a “Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
“Despite all of that, he has endured and, in fact, he has thrived!” he wrote.
The report of the allegedly tense call comes as the UK-based Financial Times reported that Netanyahu has been calling Trump daily to lobby for new strikes on Iran.
“At this point … taking the military action doesn’t seem to be a very necessary thing. But we’re locked and loaded, ready to go for any reason that changes,” Trump told reporters on Monday.
