52 countries and two organizations have called on the UN to ban arms sales to Israel. Türkiye submitted the letter to the United Nations. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan gave this information at the Türkiye-Africa Partnership Summit in Djibouti.
Fidan said, we have written a joint letter. I have called on all countries there to stop selling arms and ammunition to Israel. I handed over this letter to the United Nations on November 1, with 54 signatories. We must repeat at every opportunity that selling arms to Israel means participating in its genocide.
Among the signatories were Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Algeria, China, Iran and Russia; Two organizations are the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the United Nations to impose an arms embargo on Israel in October.
Meanwhile, Israeli attacks on Palestinian Gaza continue. At least 37 people were killed in Monday's attack. So far the death toll in the valley is about 43 thousand 400 people. More than 100,000 people have been injured in this attack since October last year. In addition, most of Gaza's 2.3 million residents have been displaced.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, 37 people were killed and 156 injured in the attack by Israeli forces in the last 24 hours. Many people are still trapped under the rubble.
Palestinian health authorities estimate that more than 10,000 people are still missing under the rubble across the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces have continued their indiscriminate attacks despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
On the other hand, the Israeli police arrested a top aide of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for allegedly leaking secret information to foreign media. Israel's opposition leaders say the leaked intelligence was bogus. And the act is part of a Palestinian plot to derail a possible deal aimed at a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza.
