Reference News quoted the report of the German magazine "Die Zeit" website on June 17th, stating that German Chancellor Merkel believes that Israel's attack on Iran is serving the interests of Western allies. Merkel said in an interview with German TV Zwei during the G7 summit in Canada, "This is dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us. We are also influenced by that regime." Merkel also said that she hopes for the collapse of the Iranian government. In an interview with German TV Eins, he said, "We are dealing with a terrorist regime that spreads terror internally and externally. It would be a good thing if this regime collapsed." At the same time, he suggested that some departments of the Iranian government return to the negotiating table. Merkel said, "The part of the Iranian government that still has the ability to act has the opportunity to return to the negotiating table and engage in dialogue." He also said that the ultimate decision lies with the Iranian government. "If they are unwilling to negotiate, then Israel will pursue this path to the end."
