[00:00:00][music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] Now, there's reportedly been a big blow up between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Hezbollah and the Iran war. This is the report that's making global headlines. Trump reportedly lashing out at Netanyahu over Israel [music] targeting the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon. Axius Axios reports that it was an exploit of laden phone call between the pair where the president allegedly said, "You're [music] effing crazy." And he even reportedly said, "You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass.

[00:02:01]Everybody hates Israel because of [music] this."

[00:02:05]Now, the first thing to say here is that this doesn't detract from the strength of the USIsrael relationship.

[00:02:12]>> [music] >> Trump and Netanyahu have achieved a great deal together and hopefully will continue to do so [music] through the expanding Abraham Accords.

[00:02:22]But if the reports of the fiery call are true, [music] it's a very low blow for Trump, who's been the victim of the same politicization of the justice system [music] as BB has. Both of their political enemies have tried to throw [music] them in prison unfairly.

[00:02:40]Now, Trump's vitriol [music] is actually not a reflection of Netanyahu, who has every right, in fact, every obligation to defend Israel against the terrorist group Hezbollah.

[00:02:54]And the US president should be well aware that Hezbollah is firing at Israel and that the [music] Jewish state can't fail to defend its citizens. Ben Netanyahu. He has citizens in northern Israel who are under fire, who've had to be evacuated and who are being killed.

[00:03:14]And Trump would have a very different attitude [music] if these citizens were Americans. If it were innocent American civilians who were being bombed.

[00:03:24]Now, the Wall Street Journal editorial, which I should point out was published before the Axios report, but it [music] details in a very excellent way how Israel had been withholding its fire.

[00:03:38][music] And it explains it well. It says that the first Lebanon ceasefire of April 17 came after Iran blamed Israel's retaliation against Hezbollah for preventing the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

[00:03:54]Mr. Trump pressured Israel [music] and delivered the ceasefire, it says, but Iran reneged on her moves and its Hezbollah proxy kept [music] firing.

[00:04:05]Israel avoided attacking Hezbollah's da stronghold in Beirut in reply so as not to trouble the US Iran negotiations.

[00:04:17]Hezilla's strikes then intensified, reaching an average of 125 rockets and 49 drones fired at Israel each day [music] last week.

[00:04:28]No country can live with that. On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Israel would expand its retaliation to Deayer.

[00:04:38]And then on Monday, that same day, Iran stopped exchanging messages with the United States, apparently because of Israel's attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon. [music] And this is what led to the phone call between Trump and Netanyahu. [music] Now, this is a very significant point.

[00:04:56]Trump is thus allowing Iran to call all the shots. A terror regime is effectively controlling the negotiations.

[00:05:05]And the Wall Street Journalist, the Wall Street Journal columnists discuss this very [music] point. Well, >> it uh started this war with Israel uh on March 2nd in defense of Iran. [music] Okay, Israel was not attacking Hisbala.

[00:05:22]Hisbala attacked Israel. And [music] in recent days, recent weeks, despite a May 17th ceasefire, you've had [music] Hisbala firing um a few dozen rockets per day at Israel and about 40 or 50 fiber optic drones at Israel per day.

[00:05:45]So, this is not a sustainable situation.

[00:05:48]It's not a ceasefire. Uh if Iran wants a ceasefire, it can tell Hezbollah, "Stop shooting.

[00:05:55]>> Just give the orders and they'll follow it."

[00:05:56]>> Instead, it's done the precise opposite.

[00:05:59]It has had Hezbollah escalate its fire on Israel. So that when Israel says, "We're going to respond now in a larger way so this doesn't keep on happening," every day Iran uh now says, "Well, uh how can we talk? Uh the ceasefire is off. uh and we're going to have to pause in exchange on all messages back and [music] forth.

[00:06:25]>> Now, you won't hear this proper detail in most other media outlets because all they want to do is hate on Israel. But it's worth me taking the time to explain that to you. [music] And this is orchestrated by Iran. And this anger of Trump's is a reflection of how much domestic political pressure he's under, [music] but also his frustration that he can't get a deal done with Iran. Trump is renowned as a skilled negotiator. He says it's one of his best assets. But he's made a critical error with Iran, which is letting his enemy know early on that he was desperate to get out of the war, that he needed [music] a deal. It's not the way to negotiate.

[00:07:04]It's showing your hand. The reports of the conversation are also a win for Tyrron. It's untrustworthy tactics designed to keep the Ayatollas in power and with a nuclear weapon at that [music] are succeeding. Trump needs to get a lot smarter here to achieve a victory and the most important thing he has to do is seize [music] their enriched uranium.
