[Regnum] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump held a difficult and tense phone conversation regarding the situation surrounding Iran. This was reported on November 10 by the Ynet portal.
During the dialogue, the politicians touched on the topic of resuming strikes on Iran. As the portal's source noted, the conversation was heated and resembled a "hellish squabble."
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office denied the media reports, calling them "fake news." A senior official confirmed the phone call between Netanyahu and Trump, but clarified that the conversation was "not at all difficult."
The British newspaper Financial Times reported that Netanyahu is calling Trump almost daily and trying to persuade him to resume military action against Iran.
Trump previously stated that he considers it unlikely that the US will resume full-scale military action against Iran. He added that the final decision will depend on Iran's willingness to reach an agreement acceptable to the US.
Trump acknowledged that the Republicans' defeat in the midterm congressional elections was largely due to the war with Iran and rising fuel prices. However, he said the war was worth starting. Trump also assured that he would do the same if he had to do it again.

"Those who don't want this, both inside and outside the White House, are trying to resist it," the source told the publication.
According to the newspaper, the Israeli prime minister's persistent attempts to launch a new offensive against Iran are causing concern among Arab leaders. They fear that a resumption of hostilities will further escalate the situation in the Middle East.
Trump previously stated that he considers it unlikely that the US will resume full-scale military action against Iran. He added that the final decision will depend on Iran's willingness to reach an agreement acceptable to the US.
Following the Democrats' victory in the November 3 congressional elections, five key changes in US foreign policy could occur. According to Reuters, the Democratic Party will oppose military action in Iran, a policy Democrats have repeatedly opposed but have previously been unable to exert any real political influence on Trump's decisions. Specifically, they will demand detailed military spending reports from the presidential administration and block certain appointments. Furthermore, the Democratic majority in Congress may favor resuming military aid to Ukraine, limiting aid to Israel,
| What aid? Bibi and President Trump agreed that American aid to Israel will end at the end of this year, less than eight weeks from now, almost a month before the new Democratic Congresscritters will be sworn in to office... |
