Sources familiar with the meeting described the exchange as an unusually difficult and heated exchange, with one source describing it as "a shouting match straight out of hell."
In the statement made by the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, allegations that there was a shouting match between the two leaders were rejected and it was claimed that the conversation was not confrontational.
According to the news, despite the denial of the Prime Minister's Office, Netanyahu's statements at the oath ceremony in the parliament on November 10 revealed the deep differences of opinion on Iran.
