WASHINGTON 

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he discussed several issues in a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"I’ve just spoken to Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, relative to numerous subjects including Trade, Iran, etc.

"The call went very well—We are on the same side of every issue," Trump said on Truth Social.

The US has long been criticized for providing support to Israel in its war in the Gaza Strip, where more than 51,000 people, mostly women and children, have been killed since Oct. 7, 2023.

Several American lawmakers, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, frequently demand that the US government stop supplying weapons to Israel and being complicit in Israel's war in Gaza.
