U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed frustration over Israel’s military actions in Lebanon, saying he was disturbed by the continued escalation and urging restraint amid regional tensions.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he was “disturbed” and “perturbed” by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s continued military actions in Lebanon, as tensions between the two leaders surfaced publicly. Trump confirmed reports of a heated phone call in which he strongly criticized Israel’s planned escalation in Lebanon.

According to multiple reports, Trump pressured Netanyahu to avoid further attacks on Beirut and warned that continued fighting could undermine diplomatic efforts in the region, including ongoing negotiations involving Iran. Sources familiar with the conversation described the exchange as unusually tense.

The disagreement comes as the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah continues despite several attempts to broker ceasefires. Trump has repeatedly stated that he wants to prevent a wider regional war and has pushed for de-escalation in Lebanon.

Despite the sharp criticism, Trump said he still maintains a working relationship with Netanyahu and emphasized that the dispute does not signal a complete breakdown in ties between the two leaders.
