Former U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that he had a heated exchange with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, admitting he “cursed out” the Israeli leader during discussions about the Lebanon war.

Speaking in an interview, Trump revealed his frustration with Netanyahu’s handling of the conflict, saying the Israeli leader had failed to act decisively at a critical moment. “I cursed him out,” Trump admitted, describing the exchange as one of the most tense conversations he had with the Israeli premier.

The remarks shed light on the strained relationship between Trump and Netanyahu, despite their earlier alignment on issues such as the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Analysts note that Trump’s comments highlight the friction between Washington and Tel Aviv during periods of heightened Middle East conflict.
