US President Donald Trump has confirmed some frustrations were shared in his call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Earlier this week, anonymous sources claimed the call was filled with expletives, Trump calling Netanyahu “f***ing crazy” and accusing him of ingratitude.  

Trump confirmed on The New York Post’s ‘Pod Force One’ that he did indeed call him crazy, but claimed he was perturbed, rather than angry. 

US Correspondent Kate Fisher told Francesca Rudkin this illustrates how difficult the situation is. 

She says Trump wants to see a diplomatic end to the conflict with Iran, while Netanyahu is pushing for more military action.
