Netanyahu has 'no f****** judgement' - Trump
Trump has blasted the Prime Minister of Israel in a phone call today after an Israeli strike on Beirut threatened to derail the peace deal that had been planned to be signed today.
Trump told Axios he "couldn't believe it" when the IDF launched a strike on southern Beirut on the day the US and Iran had been scheduled to sign a peace deal.
"Why did Bibi have to do a f****** attack? I was so p***** off, I let him know," he said.
"He has no f****** judgement, I let him know that."
It comes after another recent heated phone call where Trump said he told Netanyahu: “You better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon."

Strikes on Beirut threaten peace deal - Iranian negotiator
One of Iran’s leading negotiators has said that today’s Israeli strikes on Beirut show "that the United States lacks both the will and the ability to fulfill its commitments”.
Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf wrote on his X social media account: “The Zionists’ aggression against Dahiyeh [in southern Beirut] has once again demonstrated that the United States either lacks the will to implement its commitments or the ability to do so.”
He added: “You cannot gain concessions by giving the regime a green light. The good cop–bad cop game has become outdated.”
Iran has repeatedly insisted that Lebanon must be included in any peace deal with the US, even as Israel continues strikes against its northern neighbour, claiming to be targeting Hezbollah militants.

Trump blasts Israeli attack which 'should not have happened' as peace deal supposed to be signed today
Trump has posted on Truth Social blasting an Israeli strike on Beirut after he previously said a peace deal was due to be signed today.
He said the attack "should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a peace deal with Iran".
Trump also said “all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon.”

Iran wants peace deal to include Lebanon conflict
Fighting has continued in Lebanon between Israel, which has pushed its invasion deeper than at any point in over a quarter-century, and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group despite a ceasefire.
Iran has wanted a ceasefire deal to include the fighting in Lebanon. Tehran also has sought the release of billions of dollars in frozen funds.
The deal in its current form is a deep disappointment to Israel’s government, which has been sidelined in negotiations led by Pakistan and others.
Even critics in Trump’s own Republican Party, struggling with an unpopular war ahead of the midterm elections, criticised the deal. Some said it did not improve on the terms of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that Trump withdrew the US from during his first term and which he still describes as “bad.”

Deal 'offers 60 day framework' to discuss Iran's nuclear programme
The deal does not solve the thorniest issues between the US and Iran, including the nuclear programme or its frozen assets, but offers a 60-day framework for technical discussions on those issues, according to Pakistani and regional officials.
The officials described Pakistan’s months-long effort leading the negotiations, struggling to keep both sides from walking out of the room and a total collapse of the negotiations on multiple occasions.
Under the current deal being discussed, US and Israel appear to have fallen short of their original goals of destroying Iran’s missile and nuclear programmes and ending its support for proxies. It is not clear how the deal will address these issues, or if they will be part of the final agreement.
Meanwhile, Trump was expected to discuss demining the Strait of Hormuz during the Group of Seven summit that starts Monday. The waterway is crucial to significant shipments of oil, natural gas and related products like fertilizer, and its effective closure rocked the global economy.
