US and Israeli sources said Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu held a direct, sharp call on Oct. 31 about US-Iran negotiations. Netanyahu urged Trump to resume war against Iran immediately after the Nov. 3 US midterms and expressed concern over Qatar-mediated talks. Trump told Netanyahu he preferred to let the talks proceed and did not want Israeli interference; sources said his stance could change materially if the talks fail. The White House and the Israeli prime minister’s office declined to comment.
