  • During the call, Trump allegedly told Netanyahu that 'everybody hates Israel' because of his actions and called him 'f***ing crazy', according to US media reports.
  • Publicly, Trump announced a 'very productive' call and a partial truce between Israel and Hezbollah, claiming an agreement for all shooting to stop.
