Reports of an explosive call on Monday between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the latter’s military campaign in Lebanon blew up the narrative that Israel is running U.S. foreign policy.
That’s the critique of Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran, right? “America is doing Israel’s bidding… blah, blah, blah.”
Trump himselfdispelled this notionwith a Truth Social post in April, writing, “Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did.”
On Oct. 7, 2023, Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists invaded Israel from the Gaza Strip, killing approximately 1,200 Israelis and taking 251 hostages.

Axiosreported on Monday that Iran threatened to pull out of peace talks with the U.S. if Israel continued its push against Tehran proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon with plans to strike Beirut.
“One U.S. official said Trump told Netanyahu that following through on his threats to bomb the Lebanese capital would further isolate Israel around the world,” the outlet reported.
An official summarized Trump’s remarks to the Israeli Prime Minister, saying, “You’re f***ing crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your a**. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”
