Conservative commentator Mark Levin is calling for a federal investigation into the leak of details from a reported phone conversation between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu, arguing that the disclosure harmed U.S. and Israeli interests while benefiting Iran and Hezbollah.

The controversy erupted after Axios reported Monday that Trump had a heated phone exchange with Netanyahu. According to the report, which cited anonymous sources, the president expressed anger over Israel’s actions in Lebanon and reportedly accused Netanyahu of acting recklessly and showing a lack of appreciation. The report claimed Trump demanded to know, “What …. are you doing?” during the conversation.

The article appeared shortly after Iranian state media reported that Tehran had suspended negotiations with the United States, blaming Israel’s military activity in Lebanon following Hezbollah rocket attacks against Israel.

Levin responded forcefully on X, directing his criticism at the leak itself and the individuals who provided information to Axios reporter Barak Ravid.

“THE LEAK IN AXIOS WAS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW AND PROVIDED SUPPORT TO THE IRANIAN REGIME AND ITS HEZBOLLAH PROXY,” he wrote. “Whomever leaked that story to [Barak] Ravid at Axios did a grave disservice to our country, to our president, to Israel, and to Israel’s prime minister. The Iranian regime will benefit from that leak, viewing us as weak and desperate for a deal — even coming to Hezbollah’s defense. The Israeli people will also be furious. The missiles are aimed at them, not Washington.”

Levin further argued that the publication of details from a private discussion between world leaders could undermine both military and diplomatic objectives. He maintained that the fallout extends beyond Israel and could negatively affect American strategic interests as well.

“And for 100 other reasons, what was thought to be a devastating political hit on Netanyahu by the leakers about a private call between heads of state has done much damage to us and our military and our diplomatic strategy,” Levin continued. “And if the leakers or others believe Israel should abandon its survival for some deal, they will have a very hard lesson to learn. If the substance of the call is accurate, it is bad enough in my view. Will there be an FBI investigation to determine who leaked? If not, why not?”
