0:23Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump was “caught off guard” by Israel’s bombing of Syria, the White House said Monday, amid reports that the US president was increasingly concerned by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s aggressive military efforts.
Trump “enjoys a good working relationship with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and stays in frequent communication with him,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday. “He was caught off guard by the bombing in Syria and also the bombing of the Catholic Church in Gaza.”
The remarks came days after Israel struck Syria’s military headquarters in Damascus on Wednesday and moved more troops to the border in a bid to prevent attacks against the Syrian Druze community. The US said shortly after the bombing that it was concerned and believed it had brokered an agreement to stop the violence soon.
