The White House confirmed that former US President Donald Trump contacted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and Syria. Trump was taken by surprise by the attacks, including a strike on a Catholic Church in Gaza. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump reached out to Netanyahu to ‘rectify’ the situations. The relationship between Trump and Netanyahu is complex, marked by periods of mutual distrust. Discussions also touched on diplomatic efforts in Syria and the lack of progress on a ceasefire in Gaza, despite Trump’s expectations. Trump voiced his concerns over the ongoing conflict and supported humanitarian aid efforts.
