Erdogan calls for arms embargo on Israel with support from Russia and China

Turkey has called for a complete arms embargo on Israel, accusing its military of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. This initiative, supported by at least 52 countries including Russia and China, aims to halt arms supplies to Israel. President Erdogan emphasized the urgency of the embargo, stating that continued arms supplies would lead to increased Israeli aggression. He met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss the situation and highlighted the humanitarian crisis in Palestine and Lebanon. Turkey has officially severed diplomatic relations with Israel, marking a significant low in their ties. Erdogan's comments suggest a shift in Turkey's foreign policy, especially in light of the upcoming U.S. administration under President-elect Trump.
