    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Admiral Sir Tony Radakin used a speech on Wednesday evening to warn that the wars in Gaza and Ukraine have the potential to destabilise further “an already febrile and agitated world”.

    The head of the armed forces did not offer any examples but his comments come as NATO allies look towards key elections next year, most notably in the United States but also in the UK.

    “These are extraordinarily dangerous times,” Admiral Radakin said in an annual lecture at the Royal United Services Institute thinktank in London.

    He put them both in the context of a “turning point in global security, in which the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza both have the potential to further destabilise an already febrile and agitated world, but are part of a broader backdrop”.

    Admiral Radakin said he did not believe Iran - which backs Hamas and is a sworn enemy of Israel and its allies, including the UK and the US - was seeking a direct war.
