In recent days, tensions in the Middle East have risen again. According to an Associated Press report on April 11, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a tough speech at the Ternov Air Base, making it clear that Israel is ready to meet all challenges and unleashing harsh words: "Whoever hurts us, we will hurt whom." As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted wide attention in the international community.

This comes after Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Ali Khamenei had expressed strong outrage at Israel's attack on the Iranian consulate earlier this month and vowed to retaliate. The incident appears to have been a flashpoint for tensions between the two sides, making the already complex situation in the Middle East even more confusing.
Netanyahu's tough statement is undoubtedly an open provocation against Iran. He stressed that Israel would never tolerate any threat to its security and would resolutely respond to any possible hostilities. Netanyahu's remarks fully demonstrate the Israeli government's hard-line stance and also reflect the severity of the current security situation in the Middle East.
In the face of Israeli provocations, the Iranian side did not remain silent. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Ali Khamenei's retaliatory statement shows that Iran will not spare anything that harms its interests. The tense confrontation between the two sides has posed a tremendous challenge to peace and stability in the Middle East.
It is worth mentioning that Israeli Foreign Minister Katz also made tough statements on social media. He said that if Iran launched an attack on Israel directly from its own territory, Israel would not hesitate to retaliate. The statement further exacerbated tensions between the two sides and raised concerns about the future of the Middle East.
The Middle East has always been a geopolitical hotspot, and various complex factors have intertwined to make peace and stability in the region extremely difficult. However, both Iran and Israel should recognize that resolving the problem by force will only exacerbate the contradictions and bring greater losses to both sides. Under the current circumstances, the two sides should remain calm and restrained, resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, and maintain regional peace and stability.
The international community should also play an active role in promoting the peace process in the Middle East. Countries should respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, resolve disputes through diplomatic means, and refrain from taking actions that could lead to larger conflicts. In addition, the international community should strengthen economic assistance and people-to-people exchanges in the Middle East to promote regional prosperity and stability.
Tensions in the Middle East require the joint efforts of all parties to defuse them. Both Iran and Israel should abandon the zero-sum mentality and seek a path to peaceful coexistence. Only in this way can we create favorable conditions for peace and stability in the Middle East and contribute to world peace and development.
We reiterate our call on all parties to remain calm and exercise restraint and resolve the issue through dialogue and consultation. At the same time, we also hope that the international community will play an active role in promoting the peace process in the Middle East. Let us work together to contribute wisdom and strength to peace and stability in the Middle East.
