Turkey’s Erdogan Calls on UNGA to Recommend Force Against Israel if Attacks on Hamas/Hezbollah Continue

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – A day before Iran launched a ballistic missile attack against Israel on Tuesday, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged the United Nations General Assembly to recommend force against the Jewish state if the UN Security Council cannot convince the Israelis to stop attacking Iranian-backed Hamas and Hezbollah targets in Gaza and Lebanon, the Times of Israel (TOI) reports.

A member of NATO, Muslim-majority Turkey stopped all trade with Israel in the wake of the ongoing Israeli-Hamas war in Gaza, and also applied to join South Africa’s International Court of Justice case accusing the Jewish state of genocide against Palestinians in the war-torn coastal Strip.

“The UN General Assembly should rapidly implement the authority to recommend the use of force, as it did with the 1950 Uniting for Peace resolution, if the Security Council can’t show the necessary will,” Erdogan said in a statement in Ankara on Monday September 30.

The 1950 resolution states the UN General Assembly can take action if the UN Security Council’s five permanent veto-wielding powers — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — cannot agree on how to maintain international peace in a given situation.

Claiming Israel will go on to attack other Muslim nations as well, Erdogan added: “For the peace of everyone in our region, from Muslim to Jew to Christian, we call on the international community and Muslim world to mobilize.”
