On June 1, President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in a phone call he was strongly displeased with Israel's military escalation in Lebanon, called Netanyahu "crazy" and accused him of ingratitude, saying he had helped keep him out of jail in his corruption trial, two sources said. A US official quoted Trump as saying "If not for me, you'd be in prison... I've been saving you. Now everyone hates you. Everyone hates Israel," and warned that bombing Beirut would further isolate Israel internationally. Another source said Trump, angry, yelled "What are you doing?" and pressed Netanyahu, who replied "Okay, okay, just make sure it's done properly."
