Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has drawn the ire of Iran after he appeared to accidentally infer his country was seeking war with its fellow Middle Eastern nation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sparked controversy with a remark about “war against Iran” as a major conference on the Middle East began in the Polish capital of Warsaw.
“What is important about this meeting – and this meeting is not in secret, because there are many of those – is that this is an open meeting with representatives of leading Arab countries, that are sitting down together with Israel in order to advance the common interest of war with Iran,” Netanyahu said in a video message, a Tweet and a statement from his office.
Retweeting him, Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif retorted: “We’ve always known Netanyahu’s illusions. Now, the world – and those attending #WarsawCircus – know, too.”
