Erdogan Warns Israel-Iran Conflict Sparks Migration, Nuclear Risks to Europe

The recent conflict triggered by Israeli attacks has raised serious concerns about regional security and potential consequences for Europe, including migration waves and nuclear risks. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan warned German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that the spiral of violence could negatively impact both the broader region and Europe, emphasizing the importance of resolving nuclear disputes with Iran through dialogue. Meanwhile, Israel's relationship with Europe remains complex and strained; although economically and culturally tied to the European Union, political divisions within Europe have weakened its influence over Israel, especially amid the Gaza war. Some European countries have threatened action over Israel's policies, but Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismisses these as baseless accusations, highlighting Israel's perceived invulnerability. The combination of geopolitical tensions involving Israel, Iran, and Europe underscores the fragile balance of regional security and the challenges in diplomatic responses to ongoing conflicts.
