According to Jin10, Axios reported, citing Israeli and U.S. sources, that U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a candid phone call on Saturday to discuss progress in U.S.-Iran talks and when to quickly resume fighting. Netanyahu is urging Trump to strike Iran immediately after Tuesday’s midterm elections, while Trump wants negotiations to continue, a strategy that worries Netanyahu. An Israeli source described the call’s tone as “tough,” while a U.S. source called it “direct.” The White House and the Israeli prime minister’s office declined to comment.
