Trump later confirmed he had called the Israeli leader &#8220;fucking crazy&#8221; in the heated exchange, although he also said they \u200bstill get along well.<\/div>\n<div>Netanyahu&#8217;s domestic critics accused him of effectively surrendering sovereignty by restricting Israeli military actions to sustain U.S. negotiations, without a seat at the table.<\/div>\n<h2>ISRAEL SEEKS TO \u200bRETAIN ABILITY TO ATTACK IN LEBANON<\/h2>\n<div>After Israel&#8217;s strike on Lebanon on Sunday, and Iran&#8217;s decision to fire at Israel in response, Trump made clear he believed that should be the end of \u200cthe matter.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Each of \u2060them had their fun,&#8221; he told the Axios website. &#8220;Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don&#8217;t need another one,&#8221; Trump said.<\/div>\n<div>But Israel concluded that only by striking Iran itself in response could it establish that Iran should not be granted future say over Israeli actions in Lebanon.<\/div>\n<div>Israel could not accept a scenario in which Iranian strikes on Israel were considered a justifiable &#8220;tit-for-tat response&#8221; to Israeli strikes on Lebanon, a senior Israeli defence official told Reuters.<\/div>\n<div>Before deciding to strike Iran, Netanyahu convened a meeting of top security and \u200bdefence officials to discuss goals of a \u200bpotential short-term escalation, according to the \u2060senior defence official and two other Israeli officials familiar with the deliberations.<\/div>\n<div>One goal was to establish that any future U.S.-Iran deal would not remove Israel&#8217;s right to attack Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and keep its troops deployed there, the senior defence official said.<\/div>\n<div>Netanyahu had raised \u200bthis consideration in weekend phone calls with Trump, the senior defence official said.<\/div>\n<div>Netanyahu has not made any public comments or appearances \u200bsince resuming attacks on \u2060Iran early on Monday. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/div>\n<h2>ISRAEL CANNOT SUSTAIN LONG IRAN AIR CAMPAIGN ALONE, ANALYSTS SAY<\/h2>\n<div>The brief resumption of Israel-Iran fighting and Netanyahu&#8217;s defiance of Trump&#8217;s demands are the latest episode to lay bare the strains that have at times emerged between the two conservative leaders.<\/div>\n<div>In private, Netanyahu has acknowledged difficulty influencing Trump&#8217;s thinking on Iran, \u2060telling aides \u200bhe has &#8220;no manoeuvre&#8221; to steer the president&#8217;s decision-making.<\/div>\n<div>But although Israel has the capability to strike Iran without \u200bU.S. support, it would still need Washington&#8217;s blessing and support to sustain such an air campaign for more than a few weeks, say military experts.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;There&#8217;s no doubt that Israel (cannot) go alone in this war for a long, \u200blong time, because (the) ammunition is consumable,&#8221; said Yehoshua Kalisky, a senior researcher at Israel&#8217;s Institute for National Security Studies.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1386\">Wall St gains as chips rebound, Middle East tensions ease<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1384\">Five ways Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX upended Wall Street\u2019s IPO playbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1382\">Gwynne Shotwell, the \u2018glue\u2019 executing Musk\u2019s lofty SpaceX ambitions<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In launching renewed strikes on \u200bIran on Monday in apparent open defiance of Donald Trump, Israel has tried to make its case to have a say at the peace \u200cnegotiating table, where it has so far been kept at arm&#8217;s length by the U.S. president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
