Netanyahu calling Trump daily to push for renewed Iran war, FT reports

Netanyahu is phoning Trump every day to urge him to resume the war against Iran, the Financial Times reports. The report, relayed by the Times of Israel live blog, cites an unnamed person briefed on the discussions.

"Netanyahu calls him every day"

The same person says people inside and outside the White House who do not want a war are trying to counter the pressure.

The account goes further than a Wall Street Journal report on Friday 6 November. That report said Netanyahu was pressing for renewed US strikes while Trump's advisers were divided between ending the war and resuming major combat.

Trump said on 9 November that the war is militarily "effectively over" and that renewed strikes are "quite unlikely", according to the Times of Israel live blog.

The FT report rests on a single unnamed source and has not been independently checked.
