She emphasizes, however, that Trump and Netanyahu have spoken after the attacks and that Trump asked the Israeli Prime Minister to "address" both situations. She also says that the two have "good cooperation" and are in close contact.
Leavitt says, according to Israeli Haaretz, that the war in Gaza has become "pretty brutal".
In particular, the last few days, we have seen reports of more people dying. The President (Donald Trump) never likes to see that. He wants to put an end to the killing and he wants to negotiate a ceasefire in the region.
She adds that Trump wants all those held hostage by terrorist-stamped Hamas to be released and that it is a priority.
At the same time, the news site Axios reports that White House employees are worried that the Israeli attacks may undermine "everything Trump wants to do" in the region.
A source says that Netanyahu is "acting like a madman. He is bombing everything all the time". Another source says about the bombing of the church in Gaza "the feeling is that it's something new every day".
