US Fox News Channel quoted Israeli media sources on the 11th as reporting that when US President Trump and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of Israel's caretaker administration spoke on the phone last weekend, a “heated argument like hell” broke out over whether to restart military action against Iran. The report quoted information from Israel's “New News” website as saying that during the call, Netanyahu urged Trump to resume military action, while Trump advocated continuing negotiations with Iran through diplomatic channels. Two sources revealed that the call was “difficult” and turned into a “heated argument like hell.” The Israeli Prime Minister's Office responded by calling the above reports “fake news” and “completely nonsense,” denying that the call was confrontational. A senior Israeli official confirmed the call to the “New News” newspaper, but stressed that “this is by no means a difficult conversation.”
