Jerusalem (CNN) — US President Donald Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza and stop talk of an attack on Iran, according to a source familiar with the conversation.

The two leaders spoke on the phone on Monday. Trump later said the call went “very well, very smooth.”

The call for Israel to change course comes as Washington pushes for a nuclear deal with Iran and engages in indirect talks with Hamas over a ceasefire in Gaza.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

Believe it or not, Putin has offered to mediate a deal, and Krasnov trusts him to be an honest broker.
