Middle East, media, White House irritated by Netanyahu: ‘He's acting like a madman’

Rome, 20 July. (LaPresse) – There is growing frustration and irritation in the White House towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the latest attacks in Syria and against the Catholic Church of the Holy Family in Gaza. ‘Bibi has behaved like a madman. He's bombing everything all the time,’ a White House official told Axios, ‘this could undermine Trump's intentions.’ ‘The feeling is that every day there is something new,’ said a second senior US official after an Israeli tank hit the church in Gaza, killing three people. There is growing scepticism in the US administration towards Netanyahu and his policies, said a third official, adding that ‘Netanyahu is sometimes like a child who doesn't behave well.’
