The Trump administration is alarmed by Israel's airstrikes in Syria and the bombing of a church in Gaza, accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu of erratic behavior. US officials see Israel's actions as undermining stabilization efforts in the Middle East, and Netanyahu is seen as acting out of domestic political pressure. Although Israel had promised to halt the attacks, they have continued, and tensions with Turkey and Saudi Arabia are rising. Criticism is growing among US officials, who warn that Netanyahu is exhausting his support from Trump.
