SAEDNEWS: Tensions flared between Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call in which Trump reportedly shouted and demanded an immediate ceasefire with Iran, framing the deal as a personal diplomatic victory he would not allow to be sabotaged.
According to Saed News,
The Jerusalem Post, citing senior Israeli officials, has revealed the explosive details of a tense phone conversation between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to sources, the exchange quickly escalated into a verbal confrontation, with Trump raising his voice and forcefully instructing Netanyahu to halt military operations against Iran.
Described as “highly agitated,” Trump reportedly warned Netanyahu that the ceasefire agreement with Iran—reached after twelve days of escalating conflict—represented a major personal and political achievement. He is said to have insisted in no uncertain terms that “no one is allowed to ruin this.” The Israeli prime minister, reportedly caught off-guard by the intensity of Trump’s tone, refrained from arguing and simply thanked the U.S. president.
British newspaper The Telegraph confirmed the account, noting that Trump adopted an unusually blunt and uncompromising stance during the call, which took place just hours after an Iranian missile strike targeted the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. That retaliatory strike followed a wave of American attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure—including key sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
The U.S. assault marked Washington’s first direct military intervention in support of Israel in the current conflict, which began on June 12 with Israeli strikes inside Iranian territory. The ceasefire, brokered by the United States and implemented Tuesday morning, brought an end to nearly two weeks of military escalation.
Trump has since publicly lauded the ceasefire as a major diplomatic triumph, declaring it a defining moment of his foreign policy. “No one,” he reportedly told Netanyahu, “will take this victory away from me.”
The call offers rare insight into the friction that can erupt between the U.S. and its closest Middle Eastern ally, particularly when political legacies and military calculations collide. While the ceasefire has brought temporary calm, the raw emotions behind its negotiation suggest deeper rifts may yet emerge.
