Mayur MohtaIsrael’s prime minister is said to phone the US president daily, urging him to bring back the Iran conflict. Arab leaders are growing uneasy about the pressure.
Daily Calls From Israel’s Prime Minister
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly phones US President Donald Trump every single day. His message is simple. He wants Trump to restart the Iran conflict. The Financial Times shared the claim, citing an unnamed diplomat.
Arab Leaders Feel Uneasy
According to the newspaper, Arab leaders are worried. Netanyahu keeps urging Trump to launch a fresh offensive. Regional leaders find these repeated appeals unsettling.
What the Diplomat Said
English rendering of the quote: “Netanyahu calls him (Trump, ed.) every day to push him to resume the war (with Iran, ed.). Those who do not want war inside the White House and outside it are trying to resist this… Regional leaders are telling him not to escalate the situation and to prioritize negotiations.”, the diplomat told the paper.
Where the Iran Conflict Stands Now
The United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran on February 28. Iran answered with strikes of its own. Things have since gone quiet. Even so, the Iran conflict remains unresolved. Fresh fighting could still break out.
