Tensions have emerged between former President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding how to handle Iran. Washington is pushing for diplomatic engagement, while Israel insists on a hard‑line military stance. Trump, reportedly frustrated with Israel’s military actions, asked Netanyahu to halt the demolition of buildings and privately warned that Netanyahu intends to bomb everything. Netanyahu, in turn, questioned the credibility of U.S.–Iran talks, demanded clarification from Trump on how Tehran’s nuclear commitments could be verified, and warned against trusting Iran based on past experience. After their conversation, Trump asked senior officials in the second Israeli government to review the Israeli leader’s assessments, a level of scrutiny that officials say was previously uncommon.
