The call comes ahead of President Donald Trump's trip to the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, this week.
"I don't think they should get the F-35 or the engines for their fighter jets, because it will upset the balance of power in the Middle East," Netanyahu said on the American Fox News programme Fox & Friends.
Turkey was excluded from the F-35 programme in 2019 after it purchased Russian air defence systems. But last month, Trump promised to make Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan “very happy” after being asked about the F-35 and the F110 aircraft engine, which is used in Turkey’s existing US-made fighter jets.
