Netanyahu Expresses Concerns About Turkey in Call with Trump
July 7, 2026
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his concerns to Donald Trump about the increasing anti-Israel rhetoric from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. During a phone call, Netanyahu asked Trump not to proceed with the sale of weapons that could enhance Turkey's military capabilities. Trump reportedly listened to Netanyahu's request and might convey a message to Erdogan. Their meeting is scheduled during the NATO Summit. Despite these concerns, Netanyahu's influence in Washington appears to have diminished recently.
