Trump says a deal could be reached within hours, lashes out at Netanyahu
President Donald Trump spoke to American media outlets and delivered unusually harsh criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s strike in Lebanon. In an interview with Fox News, Trump said a deal was close and that he had spoken with Netanyahu directly about Israel’s actions.
According to Trump, a breakthrough could happen very quickly. He said, "A deal can happen within two hours, or three," adding that he told Netanyahu, "What the hell are you doing?!" The remarks were presented as a furious reaction to the Israeli operation in Lebanon.
The comments highlight Trump’s anger at the Israeli move and suggest he believes diplomatic progress is still possible almost immediately. No further details were given about the substance of the deal or the specific next steps following his conversation with Netanyahu.
