Netanyahu warns US could 'destroy' Mideast power balance as Trump floats F-35 jet sale to Turkey

US President Donald Trump visited Turkey, marking the first such visit by a US president in 11 years, and announced plans to lift sanctions against Turkey related to its purchase of Russian S-400 defense systems. He also suggested the possibility of selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey despite existing legal restrictions. This move comes amid efforts by Turkey to re-enter the F-35 program and ease sanctions that have hindered its defense industry. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed concern that such a sale would disrupt the regional power balance, warning that it could embolden Turkey's military ambitions. Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of US lawmakers raised concerns about potential F-35 sales to Turkey due to legal constraints and geopolitical tensions.
