Former President Donald Trump has acknowledged using strong language towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a recent intense phone conversation. Trump denied being influenced by Israel to instigate a conflict with Iran, stating that he initiated the actions due to concerns about Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, which could impact Israel’s safety. Trump emphasized his role in safeguarding Israel, asserting that without his actions, Israel may not have existed.
In an interview with the New York Post, Trump disclosed his heated exchange with Netanyahu, describing the Israeli leader as “stupid” and “unhinged,” and using explicit language to express his frustration. Trump admitted to expressing his displeasure at Netanyahu’s confrontations with Lebanon and suggested the need to cease hostilities.
Despite the contentious phone call, Trump insisted on his positive relationship with Netanyahu, emphasizing their effective collaboration during challenging times. Trump dismissed allegations from Democrats suggesting that Netanyahu manipulated him into initiating a conflict with Iran, labeling his critics as “Dumbocrats” with different agendas.
The disclosure of Trump’s remarks initially reported by Axios led to mixed reactions, with some defending Israel expressing disbelief. Conservative commentator Mark Levin condemned the leak, alleging a breach of federal law that could benefit Iran and its Hezbollah allies, calling for an FBI investigation.
