What happened
Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly clashed over the weekend regarding the next steps in the Iran war. According to Ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth, Netanyahu pushed to restart the war while Trump continued to support negotiations to achieve peace.
Sources familiar with a phone call between the two leaders described it as a "shouting match from hell." Trump told CBS News' 60 Minutes on Sunday that he has no interest in resuming strikes.
Israeli representatives denied the report, calling it "fake news" and "complete nonsense." A senior Israeli official stated that the call was "very much not a difficult conversation."
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.
The report comes as both leaders face political challenges. Trump's Republican party is set to be out of power in Congress in January following the midterms. Netanyahu is far short of the majority needed to retain his premiership after Israeli elections.
This is not the first reported clash between the leaders since they launched a joint military operation against Iran. Previous tensions included a May phone call described as "lengthy and dramatic" regarding strikes on Iran, and a June exchange where Trump criticized Netanyahu's judgment during the war in Lebanon.
