U.S. Officials Label Netanyahu “Madman” Amid Syria Bombardment
Ohana Magazine – White House insiders sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following recent Israeli airstrikes in Syria. They said he’s acting like a “madman” with a pattern of indiscriminate bombing that could derail President Trump’s efforts to stabilize the region. One official observed, “Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time.” This alarm comes despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire earlier in the week. Netanyahu’s impulsive tactics, including targeting Syrian military assets near Suwayda, further strained relations. Moreover, these actions cast doubt on the fragile diplomatic progress Trump has achieved in Middle East peace efforts

Criticism Intensifies Over Gaza Church Attack

One aide noted, “It feels like something new every day. What the f**?”* This pattern of aggressive military tactics is raising alarm.

“Childish” Behavior Frustrates U.S. and Risks Trust

U.S. insiders caution that Netanyahu’s luck—or U.S. patience—could soon run out, especially if he continues to prioritize domestic political goals over strategic diplomacy
Trump Seeks Calm, Calls on Israel to Explain
Despite repeated criticism, Trump has avoided public rebuke. Instead, he prefers private channels: reportedly calling Netanyahu after seeing the church strike on televised news. The White House has also urged Israel to clarify the reasoning behind attacks on places of worship. Eventually, Israel expressed regret for the Gaza church incident, though it maintained the strike was aimed at stopping harmonization Taliban◆.
