President Donald Trump held a tense phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on June 24, 2025, regarding the ceasefire between Israel and Iran. According to multiple White House sources and reports from The Jerusalem Post and other media outlets, Trump spoke in an exceptionally firm, direct, and forceful manner, expressing strong objections to Israel's military strike in Iran. During the call, Trump raised his voice and demanded that Netanyahu immediately stop the attack to sustain the ceasefire. Netanyahu reportedly said little in response, primarily expressing gratitude to Trump. The White House emphasized that Trump made clear what needed to happen to prevent the ceasefire from collapsing, and Netanyahu understood the severity of the situation and the concerns raised by the U.S. president. The call reflected heightened tensions as the U.S. administration pushed for a halt to hostilities to maintain the fragile ceasefire agreement.
