Turkey accuses Israel of pursuing 'strategic destabilisation policy' in the Middle East
Turkey's foreign ministry condemned Israel's attacks on Iran, and accused Israel of pursuing a "strategic destabilisation policy" in the Middle East.
"This attack, which is a clear violation of international law, is a provocation serving Israel's strategic destabilisation policy in the region," the ministry said in a statement.
"The fact that these attacks took place during an intensified period of negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear programme shows that the Netanyahu government does not wish to resolve any issue through diplomatic means and does not refrain from risking regional stability and global peace for its own interests."
Turkey called on Israel to immediately put an end to its aggressive actions, which could lead to larger conflicts.
"We reiterate that we do not wish to see more bloodshed and destruction in the Middle East," the statement said.
"We urgently call on the international community to take action to prevent the spread of war."
