Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that his recent phone call with US President Donald Trump was "one of the best conversations" he has had with the president, according to a statement from his office. The positive characterization comes amid a series of high-level contacts between the two leaders.
The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing his call with President Donald Trump as "one of the best conversations," marks a notably warm tone after months of reports detailing friction between the two leaders. The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of exchanges — from Trump's remarks that Netanyahu "knows who the boss is" to Netanyahu's acknowledgment that "even the best families have disagreements." The new characterization suggests a potential thaw or reset in the tone of the relationship. The call itself was not detailed in the statement, but the prime minister's office confirmed the conversation took place. The timing comes as the US continues to pursue diplomatic tracks in the Gulf and regarding Iran, while Israel remains engaged in multi-front security operations.
