Donald Trump’s telephone call Monday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became quite heated as the US president pressed the Israeli leader to scale back plans for military operations in Lebanon, according to two people familiar with the conversation.
Trump at points used expletives to convey his disapproval of the planned offensive, which threatened to upend his efforts to broker a preliminary agreement with Iran.
The White House didn’t comment on the acrimonious tone of the call, which was reported by Axios.
