Trump goes after Netanyahu as he pursues deal with Iran

President Donald Trump seems to be testing their friendship as he pressures Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to sink the agreement with Iran to end the war. Speaking at the G7, Trump said he let Israel know he wasn’t happy about recent Israeli attacks in Lebanon ahead of plans to sign an agreement later this week over hostilities with Iran. It’s the latest sign of tension between the president and prime minister after Trump acknowledged calling Netanyahu “crazy,” and it contrasts with the praise the two leaders lavished on each other when Trump visited Israel last year.
