US President Donald Trump briefed Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday about US operations in the Gulf, the Israeli Prime Minister's office said, said, after Iran reported fresh American strikes.
"As part of the continuous contact" between the two, "President Trump updated the Prime Minister on American moves in the Gulf," Netanyahu's office said in a message on X.
A US official confirmed the call occurred without providing further details Thursday.
The Israeli leader also voiced concern to the White House about Turkey, accusing "Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his people" of making statements "against the existence of the State of Israel, as well as the need for security zones along Israel's borders."
Erdogan on Tuesday rejected as "disinformation" Israel's claim that the sale to Ankara of US F-35 fighter jets and components would upset the regional power balance.
On Monday, Netanyahu urged the United States not to sell the jets to NATO ally Turkey.
