CNBC, machine translation:

▪️Netanyahu dodged a question about Trump reportedly cursing at him during a phone call this week, saying that if it weren't for him, Netanyahu would be in prison now. In response to a question about Trump apparently calling him "crazy," Netanyahu said, "I won't go into details." [But Trump confirmed in an NBC interview that Axios told him he was crazy.]

▪️Netanyahu says he and Trump have "tactical disagreements" but "agree on the main issues." Netanyahu downplayed any suggestion of a rift with Trump, stating that while they sometimes have "tactical disagreements," they "agree on the main issues." He mentioned that these include preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and threatening Israel with them. He said, "Sometimes, like the best families, we have these tactical disagreements. But we always find a way to resolve them, and we do it as good friends." He added, "We can have a disagreement in the morning" and reach common ground by the afternoon.

▪️In response to the question of whether a ceasefire with Iran has really been established, Netanyahu said, "I think a tactical game is underway." He stated, "And Iran certainly knows what [Trump] has said, that if necessary, there will be a full return to military action. That is the President's decision, Israel is ready, and American forces are also prepared." He remarked, "I think Iran should consider this. I think they are considering that they are playing with fire; that is clear."

▪️Netanyahu praised Trump's retaliatory action of blockading Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it "very effective." He said, "The reverse blockade has been a smart move."

▪️Netanyahu stated that he speaks with Trump "every other day." He mentioned that the two leaders "have common goals... we want to achieve them." However, in response to the question of what he expects from a potential ceasefire agreement, Netanyahu acknowledged that "it is an unanswered question how the war should end."

▪️Netanyahu said that entities reliant on oil shipped through the Strait of Hormuz are currently "developing alternative routes" to compensate for the energy supply shortage caused by the effective closure of this key waterway during the war.

▪️Netanyahu expects regime change in Iran to occur as the current leadership has been "severely" weakened - but he did not predict when this would happen. He stated, "You cannot precisely predict when such a regime will fall. You did not predict it in many cases: neither in Romania, nor in the fall of the Berlin Wall, and no one predicted it, but it happened. Why? Because the cracks were spreading from below." He added, "In fact, you have huge cracks right now in Iran, and you cannot predict when this will happen."

"But I said yesterday in a public meeting here... look, I believe that ultimately these cracks will widen and the regime will fall, and we will do everything we can." Netanyahu said, "I think we should help the people of Iran to overthrow this regime, and that hasn't changed, but exactly at the moment we choose, this will not happen." He remarked, "I think they have been severely weakened."
