“The timing of the attacks shows that the Netanyahu government is unwilling to resolve any issue through diplomacy and is willing to risk regional stability and global peace for its interests,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry says in a statement.

Following the attack, oil prices surged on supply concerns, with Brent crude spiking to $76.3 a barrel — its highest level since February.

The Israeli attack comes as Netanyahu's political survival hangs by a thread with coalition tensions rising and elections looming. Critics say timing is no coincidence.
