Prime Minister Netanyahu stated tonight that he raised with U.S. President Trump the severity of Turkish President Erdogan's recent anti-Israel statements. The remark, reported by Israeli media, is the first direct quote from Netanyahu on the content of the call. As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening, the phone conversation between the two leaders also covered continued coordination across theaters and U.S. moves in the Gulf. The Erdogan issue has been a recurring topic in Israeli-Turkish tensions, with Ankara stepping up rhetoric against Israel in recent weeks. Netanyahu's statement underscores the importance he attaches to keeping the White House attuned to regional threats beyond the Iran-centered agenda.
