US President Donald Trump was greatly angered when he learned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had opposed the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Türkiye, Axios reported, citing a source.
Trump believes Netanyahu has no right to interfere in US-Turkish negotiations on the matter, the source said.
Netanyahu had earlier warned that delivering fifth-generation jets to Türkiye would shift thebalance of power in the Middle East, pointing to what he called Ankara's "aggressive intentions". He also raised his concerns during a phone call with Trump.
This is not the first recent disagreement between the US and Israel. The two allies have also clashed over Iran, with Israel pushing for a harder line and the US leaning toward diplomacy.
