Trump unleashes expletive-laden birthday tirade at Netanyahu and claims he has 'no judgment' in extraordinary outburst

US President Donald Trump has once again expressed immense frustration with the leader of one of America's closest allied nations, Israel as he prepares to celebrate his birthday at the White House. 

Trump, who turns 80 today, claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has 'no f***ing judgment,' according to Axios reporter Barak Ravid, who shared parts of his Sunday conversation with the President on X.

Ravid also claimed on X that President Trump told him, 'Why did Bibi have to do a f***ing attack? I was so pissed off. I let him know. He has no f***ing judgement. I let him know that.'

Trump also said the signing of the U.S.-Iran deal for ending the war is still on track for Sunday despite the Israeli strike in Beirut and the Iranian threat to retaliate, Ravid added.

The Israeli military said Hezbollah had launched three projectiles towards communities in northern Israel earlier in the day, describing the attack as a blatant breach of the ceasefire. 

They responded on Sunday by attacking 'terrorist targets of the Hezbollah terrorist organization ⁠in the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah's firing into Israeli territory,' per Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz.

Following the attack, the US President took to his Truth Social platform, stating: 'This morning's attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran.

'Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process.

'We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel.

'This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let's not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter' Trump added.

Netanyahu's office earlier said that the Israeli military had 'carried out strikes in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut against terrorist targets belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organisation, in response to Hezbollah's firing toward Israeli territory.'

Israel's military added that it had 'precisely struck' a Hezbollah infrastructure site in Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of Beirut that is regarded as a stronghold of the militant group.

There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah on Israel's statement. However, the group said it had launched missiles and drones towards Israeli troops in southern Lebanon.

Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) reported that one strike hit an apartment in the Ghobeiry neighborhood of Beirut's southern suburbs.

Images from the scene showed plumes of smoke and dust rising above the area, while debris littered nearby streets as residents searched through the aftermath.

Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, have repeatedly warned that Israel would target Beirut's southern suburbs if Hezbollah attacked northern Israeli communities.
