In a surprising statement, former US President Donald Trump confirmed his talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Turkish-Israeli relations.
Trump stated that he informed Netanyahu about the depth of his personal relationship with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, indicating that he holds great respect for him, which bothers some media outlets.
Trump also added that he told Netanyahu that he is ready to resolve any disputes that may arise between Turkey and Israel, especially regarding Syria, explaining that he is capable of intervening and mediating between the two sides.
Trump advised the Israeli government to act rationally and work on resolving any pending issues with Turkey, within the framework of maintaining relations between the two countries.
These statements clearly reflect the unconventional relationship that existed between Trump and Erdogan, and how the former US President sees himself in the role of a mediator between major regional powers.
