Israel Continues Gaza Military Campaign; U.S. Officials Privately Urge Restraint

U.S. officials conveyed to Israeli counterparts that Israel's global position is breeding hatred worldwide, according to reporting by N12. The assessment came during a Monday call between the two governments.

Public statements from U.S. officials have validated Israel's recent strikes on Beirut suburbs. The same officials privately expressed concern that the country's international standing is fueling global animosity. N12 reported the gap between the public stance and the private message.

N12 cited an Israeli official familiar with the Monday discussion.

The outlet described the divergence as a contrast between Washington's public position and private friction. No additional details about the substance of the strikes or the scale of international reaction were provided in the reporting.
