Netanyahu, Erdogan trade insults as tensions escalate in strained Israel-Turkey relations

Tensions between Israel and Turkey are escalating sharply as a war of words between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan reach new heights, squeezing US President Donald Trump in the middle. The feud is centered around the downing of a Turkish plane by an Israeli jet in 2015 and the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. Netanyahu has accused Turkey of trying to 'humiliate' him, while Erdogan has taken aim at the US, saying it was biased towards Israel. The situation is putting pressure on Trump, who must navigate the delicate balance between his ally Israel and estranged partner Turkey.
