Donald Trump confirmed on 1 November 2026 that he spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu and discussed Iran, calling the call very good, amid reports that Netanyahu urged renewed military action. The Jerusalem Post reported that Netanyahu urged Trump to attack Iran while Washington pursues more negotiations before the US midterms. Haaretz noted that Tucker Carlson said Netanyahu was cornered and desperate after the election and needed Trump's help to form a government, and alleged he was pressing senior US officials to resume major combat operations. The Times of Israel reported Trump was weighing blaming Hegseth or Caine for failure to end the Iran war. A Jerusalem Post editorial said both capitals would return to Iran after the Tuesday midterms.
