Tensions are simmering between former U.S. President Donald Trump$TRUMP and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a new report. Behind closed doors, members of Trump’s team are growing increasingly frustrated with what they see as Netanyahu’s erratic and overly aggressive behavior—particularly in relation to Israel’s military operations in Syria and Gaza.
One senior U.S. official, speaking to Axios, bluntly said, “Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time. This could undermine what Trump is trying to do.” The comment reflects concern that Israel’s intensifying airstrikes, including a controversial hit on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, are undercutting Trump’s diplomatic agenda. ⛔💥
Sources also claim that following the Gaza church strike, Trump personally called Netanyahu for an explanation. Another official reportedly summed up the growing frustration inside the Trump camp: “What the f***? Every day, there's something new.”
Even after a series of meetings and a dinner during Netanyahu’s recent U.S. visit, there’s been no meaningful progress on ending the Gaza conflict. Instead, Netanyahu’s unpredictable approach seems to be wearing thin on Trump’s inner circle.
“He’s too itchy and too disruptive,” one source said. “Sometimes he’s like a child who just won’t behave.” $BTC
Despite these private complaints, Netanyahu hasn’t publicly responded. In fact, during his U.S. visit, he continued to praise Trump’s leadership and even nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize—a move that highlights their complex but enduring political alliance. 🤝
For now, $TRUMP is holding back from any public criticism. But behind the scenes, it’s clear that the former president’s team is growing weary of Netanyahu’s tactics—and concerned about the broader impact on U.S.-Middle East relations.
