Erdogan called on the UN to recommend the use of forces to stop Israel

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday called on the United Nations General Assembly to recommend the use of forces, in accordance with the resolution passed in 1950, if the UN Security Council does not stop Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon, Anadolu Agency reported.

The UN General Assembly should quickly apply its authority to recommend the use of forces, as it did with the ‘Uniting for Peace’ resolution in 1950, if the Security Council cannot show the necessary will, Erdogan said after a government meeting in Ankara.

He also called on Muslim countries to take economic, diplomatic, and political steps against Israel to pressure Tel Aviv into accepting a ceasefire, and reiterated his claim that Israel “will target them as well if it is not stopped soon.”
