Netanyahu Calls Trump 'Every Day' To Resume Iran War As US President Appears To Be Weighing Exit: ReportNov 10, 2026, 20:19 IST
US President Donald Trump with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu | File Image Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly been calling US President Donald Trump every day, urging him to resume military strikes against Iran, even as the American leader weighs options to end the ongoing war, according to a Financial Times report. "Netanyahu calls him every day [to urge him to resume the war]. Those who don't want a war within the White House and outside have been trying to combat that," a person briefed on the discussions told the publication. Netanyahu wanted a resumption of military action against Iran but added there was not currently a "push" to persuade Trump to do so, a person familiar with the situation in Israel said. The push from Netanyahu comes amid pressure from regional leaders from Middle East to end the eight-month-long war. The leaders who have called Trump include Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, according to people briefed on the calls. Trump held a closed-door meeting between the US President and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed, during which they discussed the current draft proposal aimed at resolving the conflict. "Iran militarily is effectively over," Trump told reporters at a White House briefing on Monday. "We’re just keeping it the status quo," he added. Earlier, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian had said that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ordered an end to the country's "no war, no peace" situation with the US, while insisting Tehran will not surrender to pressure.
