WASHINGTON, June 3 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged having called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu crazy \u200bin an expletive-filled phone exchange over fighting in Lebanon while the U.S. \u200cwas trying to negotiate an end to hostilities with Iran.<\/div>\n
In an interview broadcast Wednesday, Trump was asked whether he had called the longtime Israeli leader “effing crazy” and accused him of ingratitude, paraphrasing \u200ba report by Axios.<\/div>\n
“I did,” Trump told the “Pod Force One” podcast. “I wouldn’t say \u200bangry. I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting \u2060with Lebanon, you know.”<\/div>\n
Trump went on to say he and Netanyahu get along \u200bvery well.<\/div>\n
According to the Axios report, which cited an unidentified U.S. official, Trump said \u200bto Netanyahu in a call on Monday: “You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”<\/div>\n
Trump said \u200bin the interview: “At some point I said, Bibi, we got to stop this. We \u200bgot to stop it.”<\/div>\n
Iran has said it will not agree to a deal with the United \u200cStates \u2060to end the war that Trump and Netanyahu launched in late February, unless a ceasefire also covers Lebanon, which Israel invaded in March in pursuit of the Iran-aligned Hezbollah militia that fired across the border in support of Tehran.<\/div>\n
Hostilities have continued despite a \u200bU.S.-mediated agreement announced \u200bon Monday that \u2060led Israel to step back from attacking the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut, and the Iran-backed group to halt cross-border strikes.<\/div>\n
Israeli \u200bdrone strikes killed at least six people in southern Lebanon and \u200btargeted a \u2060car just south of Beirut on Wednesday, Lebanese security sources said, while Israel said it intercepted a hostile aircraft likely fired by Hezbollah.<\/div>\n
Trump bristled when asked if Netanyahu “tricked” \u2060him into \u200battacking Iran, saying his critics were “the enemy”.<\/div>\n
Trump has \u200bused expletives about Israel in the past, including publicly saying last year that Israel and Iran “don’t know what \u200bthe fuck they are doing”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
