U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed reports that he used profane language toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call, acknowledging that he called Netanyahu "***ing crazy" over Israel's continued military operations in Lebanon.

Speaking on the Pod Force One podcast, Trump said he was not angry but "perturbed," recalling that he told Netanyahu, "Bibi, we got to stop this. We got to stop it." Trump also did not dispute an Axios report that he told the Israeli leader, "You're ***ing crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your a**. Everybody hates you now."

Adam Hamawy, a retired U.S. Army combat surgeon and outspoken advocate for Palestinian rights, has won the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District. Born in Egypt and raised in the United States, the Muslim veteran emerged as the frontrunner in a crowded field of about a dozen candidates for the safely Democratic seat being vacated by retiring Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman.

Hamawy’s humanitarian work has been a defining part of his public profile, particularly his medical missions to Gaza in 2024 and 2025. During one of those missions in 2024, he and his colleagues were stranded in Gaza after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing.

After 40 years with Malaysia Airlines, a father made an unexpected decision that set aside seniority and long-earned status. With his two daughters now working as pilots at AirAsia, he chose to step back from his established position and start anew so he could fly alongside them.

It was a quiet but deeply meaningful choice rooted in the bond between a father and his daughters. In a world that often defines success through rank and achievement, this story reflects a different kind of fulfillment found in presence and shared purpose. Some of the most meaningful sacrifices are made simply to stay close to the people who matter most.

US President Donald Trump reportedly had a tense phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's escalating military operations in Lebanon, according to sources cited by Axios.

The exchange took place amid growing fears that the conflict could expand beyond Lebanon, with Iran warning it may abandon ongoing negotiations with Washington if Israeli strikes continue.

Axios reported that Trump sharply criticised Netanyahu's handling of the situation and called for restraint, cautioning that an attack on Beirut would further isolate Israel on the international stage. Sources said Trump's intervention also contributed to preventing a planned large-scale Israeli strike on the Lebanese capital.
