Tensions between Washington and Tel Aviv have deepened as US officials described Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu as a “madman,” criticizing his relentless airstrikes in Gaza and Syria. Axios reported President Donald Trump called Netanyahu after Israel’s strike on Gaza’s only Catholic church, demanding an explanation. A US official said, “Bibi bombs everything… this could undermine what Trump is trying to do.” Despite Netanyahu praising Trump during his US visit, skepticism within the White House grows over Israel’s aggression. Officials warned Netanyahu’s actions risk destabilizing US efforts to manage Middle East tensions. Israel has not officially responded. (PC: HT)
