Erdogan Calls for International Isolation of Israel

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has sharply criticized Israel for obstructing humanitarian aid to Gaza, calling for its international isolation until its military aggression ceases. Speaking at a joint summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League in Riyadh, Erdoğan emphasized the need for Muslim nations to unite against Israeli actions, describing them as part of a broader strategy to eliminate Palestinian existence and annex territories. He condemned the lack of sufficient response from Muslim countries and the overwhelming support provided to Israel by Western nations, which he argues has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis. Erdoğan reiterated Turkey's commitment, having delivered over 84,000 tons of aid, and urged for an arms embargo and cessation of trade with Israel. He deemed the two-state solution as increasingly unattainable and called for more countries to recognize Palestine. The summit concluded with a resolution for immediate international action against Israel, including an initial ban on arms exports.
