Nuestros colegas de Axios confirman que dos funcionarios estadounidenses y una tercera fuente informada confirmaron la conversación.
El lunes, Irán amenazó con abandonar las negociaciones con Estados Unidos por las acciones de Israel en El Líbano. Durante la llamada, Trump calificó a Netanyahu de "loco" y lo acusó de ingratitud, según dos de las fuentes. También frenó el plan israelí de atacar Beirut.
Entre bastidores: Un funcionario estadounidense afirmó que Trump le dijo a Netanyahu que cumplir sus amenazas de bombardear la capital libanesa aislaría aún más a Israel en el mundo.
Resumiendo las declaraciones de Trump a Netanyahu, el funcionario estadounidense dijo: "Estás completamente loco. Estarías en la cárcel si no fuera por mí. Te estoy salvando el pellejo. Ahora todo el mundo te odia. Todo el mundo odia a Israel por esto".
Además de las amenazas a Beirut, Israel ha estado expandiendo su operación terrestre en el sur del Líbano.
Otro funcionario estadounidense dijo que a Trump le preocupaba que Israel hubiera matado a tantos civiles en el Líbano y que se oponía a que los israelíes derribaran edificios para eliminar a un solo comandante de Hezbolá.
Tras la llamada, Trump publicó en Truth Social que las conversaciones con Irán continuaban a un ritmo acelerado.
Netanyahu emitió un comunicado después de la llamada en el que afirmaba haberle dicho a Trump que Israel atacaría objetivos en Beirut si Hezbolá no cesaba sus ataques contra Israel, y que, mientras tanto, Israel continuaría sus operaciones en el sur de Líbano.

WASHINGTON, June 1 (International Consortium of Journalists JMH) – US President Donald Trump reportedly had a tense phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon. Our colleagues at Axios confirm that two US officials and a third informed source confirmed the conversation.Earlier on Monday, Iran threatened to abandon the negotiations with the U.S. over Israel's actions in Lebanon. On the call, Trump called Netanyahu "crazy" and accused him of ingratitude, according to two of the sources. He also put the brakes on Israel's plan to strike Beirut.
One U.S. official said Trump told Netanyahu that following through on his threats to bomb the Lebanese capital would further isolate Israel around the world.
Summarizing Trump's remarks to Netanyahu, the U.S. official said: "You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."
A second source briefed on the call said Trump was "pissed" and at one point yelled at Netanyahu: "What the fuck are you doing?"
The U.S. official said Trump knew Hezbollah had been shooting at Israel and that Israel needed to defend itself, but felt in recent days that Netanyahu was escalating in a disproportionate way.
In addition to the threats on Beirut, Israel has been expanding its ground operation in southern Lebanon.
Another U.S. official said Trump was concerned by the fact that Israel had killed so many civilians in Lebanon, and objected to the Israelis knocking down buildings to take out a single Hezbollah commander.
Israel no longer plans to strike Hezbollah targets in Beirut, an Israeli official told Axios.
After the call, Trump posted on Truth Social that the Iran talks were "continuing, at a rapid pace."
Netanyahu released a statement after the call saying he'd told Trump that Israel would attack targets in Beirut if Hezbollah did not stop attacking Israel, and that in the meantime Israel would continue its operations in southern Lebanon.
"Our position remains the same," Netanyahu wrote.
