Trump indicated during the NATO summit that he might be willing to sell F-35 fighter jets to Turkey.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Tuesday that a possible US sale of F-35 stealth fighter jets to Turkey would upset the regional balance of power, saying he has personally urged President Donald Trump not to proceed with the transfer.
The remarks came after Trump indicated during the NATO summit that his administration was considering allowing Turkey to purchase the advanced aircraft, despite restrictions imposed during his first administration.
Speaking to CNN, Netanyahu argued that providing Ankara with the fighter jets would empower a government he said has adopted an increasingly hostile posture toward both Israel and the United States.
