A report details an incident in which Prime Minister Netanyahu reversed a decision after Israeli aircraft were already airborne, during exchanges with former U.S. President Trump. The report does not specify which operation or timeframe is referenced, according to the source.
An Israeli media report published Friday evening describes a dramatic episode in the recent security dialogue between Prime Minister Netanyahu and former U.S. President Donald Trump. According to the source, Netanyahu 'folded' — reversed a planned military action — after Israeli aircraft were already airborne, during a direct exchange with Trump. The report does not identify the specific operation, target, or date, nor does it specify what Trump communicated to prompt the reversal. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple calls between Netanyahu and Trump amid the current Iran crisis (June 8, June 9), and on Trump's public statements about Netanyahu being 'hit' and responding (June 9). This new report appears to add an operational detail to that channel of communication, but remains unattributed beyond the generic outlet source. No independent confirmation or further context is yet available.
