US President Donald Trump reportedly lashed out at Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a heated phone call over Israel's escalation in Lebanon, which threatens to jeopardise the ongoing peace talks with Iran to end the Middle East conflict. On the call, the US leader called Netanyahu "crazy" and accused him of ingratitude, according to a report by Axios. Citing US officials and a third source briefed on the call, the American publication reported that Trump has also put the brakes on Israel's plan to strike Beirut.
