Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump held a conversation over the weekend that sources described as particularly difficult and pointed, according to multiple Israeli media reports. The discussion centred on differing approaches to Iran policy, with disagreement over how to address the Iranian nuclear threat.

Netanyahu’s office firmly denied the reports, stating: “Fake news, complete nonsense.” However, the denial came after Netanyahu warned the Knesset against international pressure to compromise with a nuclear Iran, declaring: “The only way to remove the threat is by overthrowing the regime.”

The reported tension between the Israeli PM and the US President reflects ongoing strategic differences between Jerusalem and Washington regarding Iran policy and regional security matters.
