According to Netanyahu’s office, the prime minister warned Trump about what it described as the “severity” of recent statements by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and senior Turkish officials.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu also stressed “the need for security zones along Israel’s borders,” the statement said, after Trump remarked this week that he believed Israel wanted to withdraw from southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The call came after Trump publicly praised Erdogan during the NATO summit in Ankara<\/a>, where the two leaders appeared together and Trump suggested Turkey could eventually receive the fifth-generation stealth fighter jets.<\/p>\n

Trump also praised his relationship with the Turkish leader. “We’ve had right from the beginning, good chemistry. We’ve had a very special relationship,” he said. “Turkey has become, under the president, a very powerful country militarily. People don’t know how powerful, actually.”<\/p>\n

Trump also said he planned to lift U.S. sanctions imposed on Turkey over its purchase of Russia’s S-400 air defense system. “You don’t want to sanction friends,” he said.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu’s office also referred to recent comments by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who told CNN T\u00fcrk that “Israel has become a problem for the entire international community.”<\/p>\n

“Israel is no longer just Turkey’s problem,” Fidan said. “It has become the world’s problem. The Israeli authorities have become a burden that humanity can no longer bear.”<\/p>\n

“The war has not ended. There are new challenges,” Netanyahu said without mentioning Turkey by name. “Maintaining air superiority is a fundamental pillar of Israel’s national security doctrine. It is key to preserving stability in the turbulent Middle East.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to Netanyahu’s office, the prime minister warned Trump about what it described as the “severity” of recent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":533659,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":["post-533658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=533658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533658\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/533659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=533658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=533658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=533658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
