Israel's Prime Minister's Office on Thursday, November 12, denied reports of a heated verbal argument between Netanyahu and Trump during a phone call over the weekend about resuming military strikes against Iran.
Netanyahu's office said in response to the report of the news site You: "The news is fake and completely baseless."
This response came after sources familiar with the content of the conversation told You that the phone call between Trump and Netanyahu was extremely tense. One of those sources described that conversation as "a verbal and hellish argument."
A senior Israeli official confirmed the phone call, but emphasized that the conversation "wasn't difficult at all", according to a report by Atha.
The denial by Netanyahu's office came after the publication of reports showing that the Israeli prime minister had repeatedly asked Trump to renew military strikes against the Islamic Republic in recent days.
