What happened last night in the conversation that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had with President Donald Trump?
According to reports from American sources to Barak Ravid that the president attacked Netanyahu and called him "ungrateful," sources in the prime minister's team claim in a conversation with political commentator Amit Segal on Channel 12 that nothing personal was said.
""Contrary to the leak," claimed sources in the prime minister's team who are familiar with the details of the nightly conversation, "Trump did not say anything personal to Netanyahu, such as saving him from going to jail or claiming that Netanyahu is hated in the world.
""The conversation was indeed tense and discussed the two's mutual complaints about their tweets on social media - in which they presented the 'fruits' produced by the lengthy phone call that took place the evening before.".
According to the same sources, Trump complained that Netanyahu's tweet implied that, with the exception of attacks in Beirut, the war was continuing in full force. Netanyahu, for his part, complained that Trump's post implied that Israel had ceased fire on all fronts, while Hezbollah continues to try to harm IDF forces and residents of the north.
""Trump did say during the conversation that it is difficult to present Israel's position to the world and that this leads to hatred towards it," emphasized sources in Prime Minister Netanyahu's team. However, they clarified: "The conversation ended with agreements according to which Israel will refrain from attacking in the Beirut rebuff provided that it is not attacked within its borders.".
