Sultan Erdogan was at his D-8 summit in Cairo and called on all the Islamic countries to implement an arms embargo on Israel and to halt trade with them in order to isolate Israel internationally.
The D-8 summit consists of eight developing countries: Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey.
Erdogan is angry about Israel capturing the Golan Heights now that Assad is gone.
Here’s what he said:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday called for imposing an arms embargo on Israel, ending trade with the country, and isolating it internationally.
Speaking at the D-8 summit in Cairo, Erdogan described these measures as crucial steps to hold Israel accountable for its actions in the region.
“We see Israel’s steps that disregard Syria’s territorial integrity, including the expansion of illegal settlements in the Golan Heights,” he said.
“I believe the D-8 must respond more strongly to the lawlessness threatening Syria’s stability and our region.”
The Turkish president also called for a more coordinated response from Islamic countries, especially from members of the D-8.
“As Islamic countries, we must lead steps that can be taken against Israel,” Erdogan said.
“We must work harder together, as D-8 countries, for a just and lasting peace in the region,” he added.
Erdogan also wants Israel out of Gaza and to establish a two-state solution for the Palestinians:
Erdogan emphasized that achieving a permanent cease-fire in Gaza has become more important than ever in the short term.
“In this regard, we must all step up and take action. Our long-term goal should be to initiate a negotiation process to implement a two-state solution,” he added.
“We must strongly support the ongoing negotiations led by Qatar and Egypt to achieve a cease-fire and reach a result as soon as possible,” the Turkish president said.
“I hope that establishing a cease-fire in Lebanon and the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria will mark the beginning of a more positive era,” he added.
Erdogan is upset about Israel taking the Golan Heights but he’s made his own incursions into Northern Syria. He’s been fighting there for years to establish a “buffer zone” which he will control. He claims that’s for his own security but Israel taking the Golan Heights for their own security is wrong? Sultan Erdogan hates Israel and wants to ultimately destroy the Jews and control it. He wants to take it back as part of his new Ottoman empire.
