U.S. President Donald Trump briefed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday about U.S. operations in the Gulf.
U.S. and Israeli officials confirmed the call between the two leaders. Netanyahu’s Office said that, as part of their continuous contact, President Trump updated the Prime Minister on American moves in the Gulf.
During the conversation, Netanyahu also voiced concern to the White House about Turkey, accusing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his associates of making statements against the existence of the State of Israel, as well as stressing the need for security zones along Israel’s borders.
On Monday, Netanyahu urged the United States not to sell the jets to NATO ally Turkey.
