Trump Confirms Heated Call With Netanyahu Over Lebanon

ISLAMABAD: (Web Desk) – US President Donald Trump has acknowledged a tense phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he expressed strong frustration over Israel’s military escalation in Lebanon. Speaking in an interview with the New York Post, Trump confirmed that he used harsh language during the conversation, urging Netanyahu to reconsider continued strikes and warning against further escalation.
