Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to help reduce tensions between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, sources close to Netanyahu tell the Kan public broadcaster.
Some of Netanyahu’s phone calls with Putin have been reported in the media, and some have remained secret, according to the report.
