Tel Aviv, Nov. 12 -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has rejected claims that he had a heated "shouting match" with US President Donald Trump during a weekend phone call regarding the resumption of military strikes on Iran.

Citing a report from the Hebrew outlet Ynet, The Times of Israel noted that Netanyahu's office dismissed the allegations as "Fake news, complete nonsense" after anonymous sources familiar with the call characterised it as especially tense-with one source calling it a "shouting match from hell."

The Times of Israel further reported that a senior Israeli official acknowledged the phone call occurred, though the official maintained to Ynet that it was "very much not a difficult conversation."
