Israel Leading Middle East to ‘Total Disaster': Turkish FM
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan accused Israel on Saturday of pushing the Middle East towards the brink of a 'total disaster' by attacking Iranian nuclear facilities on June 13, according to Arab News.

OIC Summit in Istanbul Fidan's remarks came during the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul held to discuss Israel's war against Iran and related regional security issues. 'There is no Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian, Yemeni or Iranian problem but there is clearly an Israeli problem,' Fidan said. He also described Israel's strikes against Iran as an 'unlimited aggression.' Moreover, he urged for an immediate end to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, warning that it 'would further jeopardize regional and global security.' Unconditional Support Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Western leaders of unconditionally supporting Israel. Erdogan also stated that Turkey would never allow borders in the Middle East to be redrawn 'in blood.' 'It is vital for us to show more solidarity to end Israel's banditry — not only in Palestine but also in Syria, in Lebanon and in Iran,' he told the OIC's 57 member countries. 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. 'The spiral of violence triggered bky Israel's attacks could harm the region and Europe in terms of migration and the possibility of nuclear leakage,' he said. He also noted that the ongoing conflict had 'raised the threat to regional security to the highest level,' expressing that Turkey is making efforts to put an end to the Israeli-Iranian strikes.

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.
