Maariv: The Last Call Between Netanyahu and Trump Was Tense

SadaNews: The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported - quoting an informed source - that the phone call that took place between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday was characterized by tension.

The newspaper reported that Netanyahu informed Trump that Israel does not consider itself bound by the clause related to Lebanon in the agreement, emphasizing that the Israeli army will not withdraw from Lebanese territory and will continue to remain in the locations it currently controls.
