Airstrikes on Lebanon by Israel
The conversation comes amid escalating fears of a broader regional conflict in the Middle East.
Concerns have intensified following Israel’s recent assassination of key Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, a move that has significantly heightened tensions in the region.
It was learned that Fidan wished Arakci success in his new post. During the phone call, bilateral relations, the latest situation in Gaza and developments in the region were also discussed.
Airstrikes on Lebanon and Israel on Aug.25 marked a major escalation in the ongoing conflict.
Israel seeks to avoid ‘all-out war,’ says foreign minister
Israel’s Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, emphasized earlier that Israel is not seeking an “all-out war” by saying, “We do not seek a full-scale war – but we will do whatever it takes to protect our citizens.”
