Donald Trump has confirmed a report that he criticised Benjamin Netanyahu as “crazy”, saying he was “a little bit perturbed” that Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon was holding back peace talks with Iran.
But the US president insisted his relationship with the Israeli Prime Minister is solid and they connect in part because they are both “wartime” leaders.
“We’ve worked very well together. I like Bibi a lot. And I work very well with him,” Mr Trump told the New York Post’s Pod Force One in an interview released on Wednesday.
Mr Netanyahu responded that he and Mr Trump sometimes have “tactical disagreements” but have “common goals” and “agree on the main things”.
“He respects me. I respect him. We always find a way to work out our differences,” the Israeli leader said in an interview on CNBC.
