An unverified report circulating on Israeli Telegram channels says US President Donald Trump commented that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needs to be 'kept sane.' The statement adds to a growing series of public remarks by Trump about the Israeli premier. Over the past two weeks, Trump has described Netanyahu as a 'great guy' who 'gets too excited,' acknowledged a 'disagreement' over Lebanon, and said their relationship is 'excellent.' A Wall Street Journal report revealed that Trump routinely asks aides whether Netanyahu's account of their conversations is accurate. The latest remark, if confirmed, would continue a pattern of Trump publicly signaling skepticism toward Netanyahu's conduct. No further context, direct audio or transcript has been published as of Friday morning. The single circulating source carries no on-record attribution. The Zioneer will update as more details emerge.
