Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest.
The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict.

Tensions deepen as Hamas accuses Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of rejecting multiple ceasefire deals—despite IDF Chief Eyal Zamir urging him to accept a hostage agreement. Hamas official Bassem Naim claims Israel wants only a U.S.-backed “comprehensive deal,” while admitting just 20 hostages remain alive. Reports suggest Netanyahu is stalling to preserve his far-right coalition, escalating war instead of ending it. Meanwhile, Israel has launched fresh assaults on Gaza City, prompting U.N. warnings of mass starvation and devastation.
