In the U.S., it has been suggested that some White House officials are concerned about what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might do next after Israel struck the presidential complex, the General Staff, and the Ministry of Defense in Syria.
COMMENT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE ON NETANYAHU: HE IS ACTING CRAZY
Some White House officials speaking to Axios news site criticized Netanyahu for his increasingly aggressive behavior, stating that he is "acting crazy, constantly bombing everything." One official pointed out that Netanyahu's actions could undermine what U.S. President Donald Trump is trying to achieve and could deplete his goodwill. Another senior official highlighted the recent bombing of a church in Gaza by Israel, emphasizing that this incident led Trump to call Netanyahu and demand an explanation.
"SOMETIMES LIKE A MISBEHAVING CHILD"
Officials underscored the growing skepticism towards Netanyahu within the Trump administration, describing the Israeli Prime Minister as "sometimes like a misbehaving child." They noted that despite the ceasefire that halted the escalation in Syria on Friday, Washington continues to have much greater concerns regarding Netanyahu and his regional policies.
While Trump's discomfort with Netanyahu's regional policies has been a topic of discussion, especially on social media, it appears that the U.S. President has refrained from publicly criticizing Netanyahu.

The Israeli army struck the presidential complex, the General Staff, and the Ministry of Defense in Syria on July 16, citing the clashes in Suweida as justification.
