Harmful Impacts On Friday, Erdogan warned that the ongoing Israeli Iranian tensions could cause a surge in migration and have harmful impacts on Europe and the region, according to Al Arabiya. In a phone call with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Erdogan said that 'negotiations' was the solution to the nuclear disagreements with Iran.

Netanyahu Uses Iran Conflict to Stay in Office Forever: Former US President Clinton

Former US President Bill Clinton said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was using war against Iran as a way to stay in power for good, according to Arab News. 'Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran because that way he can stay in office forever and ever. I mean, he's been there most of the last 20 years,' Clinton stated during an appearance on 'The Daily Show'. Clinton also said he urged US President Donald Trump to 'defuse' the ongoing war between Israel and Iran and put an end to the 'outright constant killing of civilians.' In the same context, he mentioned that he did not believe that either Netanyahu or Trump want to create a full-scale regional war. Apart from this, he noted that it is significant for the US to protect its allies but at the same time he called for restraint. 'We have to convince our friends in the Middle East that we'll stand with them and try to protect them,' he stated. Moreover, he underscored that embarking on undeclared wars that primarily destroy civilians 'is not a very good solution.' Importantly, Clinton stated that the US has stayed out of direct intervention in the Israeli Iranian tensions. However, it has provided Israel with military equipment and helped it intercept missiles from Tehran.
