Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office:

As part of the ongoing coordination between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, the 2 leaders held another phone call this evening.

People in Gaza are destroying hundreds of kilograms of meat sent as part of international aid.

But why? Simply because the refrigerated trucks delivering the aid are Israeli.

Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, regarding the aid delegation to Venezuela:
"This delegation has traveled to a country that severed ties with us almost 20 years ago, and they are demonstrating how beneficial it is to be connected with Israel."

"We don't ask questions or seek explanations; we simply ask: 'What can we do to help them?'"

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan

“There is no reason for an open confrontation between Turkey and Israel.

In Israel, there are still many people who are balanced, worthy, intelligent, and possess strategic thinking. Not everyone is like Netanyahu and his associates.

However, as the elections approach, Netanyahu and certain people around him need an enemy.

After waging war against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, they need another enemy to elicit sympathy for themselves.

Now they are trying to do this through Turkey.

The policy of Netanyahu’s government is not only a problem for us.

His policy and his government are a burden on Israel, a burden on the region, and also a burden and a threat to international security.

Everywhere, there is agreement that Netanyahu and his policies constitute a threat to international and economic security.

In my opinion, even Trump understands this.”
