'He's a madman': Trump's team frets about Netanyahu after Syria strikes

Tensions are rising within the Trump administration over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military actions in Syria. U.S. officials expressed frustration, remarking that “Bibi acted like a madman.” Netanyahu’s recent bombing of Syrian military targets has alarmed the White House, undermining diplomatic efforts.

Despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Netanyahu's escalation continued, which caught Trump's team by surprise. Some officials believe Netanyahu's actions stem from domestic political pressures. There’s growing skepticism that his reckless approach could harm U.S.-Israel relations.

Concerns about instability in Syria are prominent, as U.S. officials argue Israel shouldn't dictate Syrian sovereignty.
