Türkiye's President Erdogan, Jordanian king discuss Israel-Iran conflict
'Aggressive and lawless stance' of Israel, Netanyahu administration create global issue for stability, security, Recep Tayyip Erdogan tells Jordanian King Abdullah over call

ISTANBUL
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Jordanian King Abdullah II on Saturday discussed over the phone the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, which began with Israeli attacks on Iranian territories, claiming the lives of civilians as well as high-ranking military officers, Türkiye's Communications Directorate said.
Israel’s attacks on Iran constitute a provocation that could seriously harm the region’s security, Erdogan warned, stressing that "the aggressive and lawless stance" of Israel and the government led by Benjamin Netanyahu create a global issue for stability and security.
Noting that the global community's silence on the occupation and genocide in Palestine has enabled Israel’s aggression to escalate to this level, Erdogan said these attacks undermine efforts to resolve the issue over Iran’s nuclear program.
Any potential nuclear leakage resulting from Israel’s strikes threatens civilians as well as regional and global health—an issue Israel is disregarding, he added.
Stressing that the region cannot tolerate another crisis, President Erdogan said continuing nuclear talks is the only way to resolve the conflict.
The Turkish leader also urged that these attacks should not overshadow the Palestinian cause.
