Prime Minister Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump held another phone call this evening, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed. The call is part of ongoing coordination between the two leaders amid the current crisis with Iran and US operations in the Gulf region. Trump updated Netanyahu on US military moves in the Gulf, the PMO stated. Netanyahu, in turn, raised the severity of recent anti-Israel statements by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and stressed the need for security zones on Israel's borders.
The call comes as Trump receives an intelligence briefing on Iran and the White House prepares for prolonged exchanges, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. The two leaders have spoken multiple times in recent days, with the White House emphasizing direct dialogue with Jerusalem. The PMO did not provide further details on the call.
The new call underscores the close coordination between the US and Israel as both countries face simultaneous threats from Iran and Turkey's increasingly hostile rhetoric.
