After the surrender agreement with Iran: 'The Wall Street Journal published new details this morning (Thursday) about the talks between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - which, according to the newspaper, are no longer as friendly as they once were.
According to one source familiar with the contents of a phone call between the two, in one conversation Trump lashed out at Netanyahu over the destruction caused in Lebanon: "Why are you blowing up buildings? Stop blowing up buildings.".
The president went on to compare the damage to the global economy following the war to the 'Great Depression' of the 1930s.
The report also cited arguments between Trump and Netanyahu regarding the reference to Iran's nuclear issue in the memorandum of understanding. In one conversation, Netanyahu said to Trump regarding the Iranian nuclear issue: "Donald, how are you going to verify that?""
In other conversations, Netanyahu presented the president with historical reasons not to trust the Iranians.
According to the report - from a person who heard the words at a different time - Trump told his advisers that no one could handle Netanyahu and that he wanted to "bomb everyone.".
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal about Netanyahu, Trump said of Netanyahu that he thinks "he's great, but sometimes he overdoes it.".
A senior US administration official said that in the talks between Trump and Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister usually called on the president to act more militarily and Trump got fed up with it. "Bibi tells the president why he needs to bomb something, why Israeli intelligence knows how to do it and when to do it and the president listens. The talks are usually the same thing.".
Netanyahu encouraged Trump to continue the blockade on Iran so that it would continue to hurt them, while Trump spoke about the need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the report, many officials in the Trump administration are frustrated with Netanyahu, and some White House officials have wondered whether Netanyahu sought to prolong the war with Iran in order to strengthen his political position.
