Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office dismisses as “complete fake news” an NBC report alleging that the premier fought with US President Donald Trump over the humanitarian situation in Gaza during a fiery phone call late last month.
“The claim that there was supposedly a ‘shouting match’ between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump is complete fake news,” writes the Prime Minister’s Office in a brief statement.
The report cited unnamed US officials and alleged that the two leaders clashed over reports of starvation in Gaza and the status of humanitarian aid.
The White House has not yet responded to the report.
