Netanyahu Is Not Listening to Biden, Says Trump

Former US President Donald Trump has announced that he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "about two days ago." In an interview with Fox News, aired on Sunday, Trump was asked when he last spoke with the Israeli leader. "About two days ago he came to my home in Florida, Mar-a-Lago, with his lovely wife," he responded.

US President Joe Biden also spoke with Netanyahu last week amid rising tensions with Iran. Their phone call on Wednesday marked the first conversation between the two leaders since August. This period coincided with a sharp escalation in the conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.

Trump called the nearly two-month absence of dialogue between Biden and Netanyahu "pathetic." He added, "I can tell you that Bibi was very strong. He is not listening to Biden."
