US President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, a White House official told AFP, after the first exchanges of fire between Israel and Iran since an April ceasefire.
The call came amid reports of an increasingly testy relationship between the US leader and Netanyahu, with Trump calling his ally “crazy” during another recent phone call between the two.
Iran fired missiles at Israel overnight and Israel responded by targeting military sites in the Islamic republic, sparking fears of a new full-scale conflict.
