On July 20, according to the U.S. digital news website (Axios), several senior U.S. officials expressed dissatisfaction with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's radical military actions in Gaza and Syria, calling him a "madman," reckless, and politically motivated.
This dissatisfaction was further exacerbated after Israel bombed Syrian targets despite U.S. mediation for a ceasefire.
U.S. officials criticized Netanyahu for escalating the conflict, including bombing a church in Gaza and attacking the Syrian government forces allied with the Al-Nusra Front (HTS).
Although President Trump himself avoided public criticism, senior U.S. advisors were shocked and worried that Netanyahu's actions might undermine U.S. efforts in the region.
Netanyahu's actions have drawn strong opposition from U.S. allies such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as well as condemnation from evangelical leader Mike Huckabee, who called the violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians "terrorist acts" and criticized Israel's recent visa policies.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials were taken aback by the U.S. reaction, insisting that their actions were aimed at protecting the Druze people and were not politically motivated.
