Bibi RAGES Over Trump Turkey Meeting, DEMANDS REGIONAL HEGEMONY
"President Trump is in Turkey right now. He said this morning he will consider selling F35 fighter jets to Turkey which is a reversal of a ban he put in place. Uh you said yesterday that would quote upset the power balance in the Middle East. Have you made that clear to President Trump? Yes, I have actually spoke to him several times about it and uh I think that everybody understands that uh notwithstanding the personal friendship that President Trump has with with Erdogan, it doesn't make Turkey a friendly or a friendly state to the United States."
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu appeared on Fox News and CNN to oppose Trump's potential sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, a NATO ally. Netanyahu argued Turkey threatens regional stability and Israeli security, while Trump met with Erdogan in Ankara with significant diplomatic ceremony. The hosts noted Netanyahu's criticism comes as he himself faces accusations of jailing opponents and journalists, and that his real concern is maintaining Israeli air superiority rather than regional balance.
