Prime Minister Netanyahu said he has spoken with President Trump several times and conveyed to him that Turkey is not a friendly country to Israel, N12 reported Tuesday evening. The statement, attributed to Netanyahu directly, did not specify the timing of the calls or whether the remarks were made in a recent conversation.
Netanyahu's comments on Turkey come amid a broader diplomatic backdrop. As The Zioneer previously reported, President Trump recently praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, calling him 'great,' and said the US would engage with Turkey. The Israeli prime minister has maintained regular contact with the White House during the current period of regional tensions, though the content of the calls has largely been kept private.
No further details on the context of the calls or Turkey's response were available. The report is based on a single source, N12's the source.
