Egypt joined a call led by Turkey and backed by dozens of countries, urging the United Nations to halt arms deliveries to Israel, citing concerns over their use in Gaza and Lebanon.
A foreign ministry statement on Tuesday said Egypt joined the call as part of "international efforts to pressure Israel to cease its continuous violations of international law and international humanitarian law".
It also aims to stop "Israeli violations" against Palestinians and protect civilians, the statement read. Ankara submitted a letter signed by 52 countries calling for a halt in arms deliveries to Israel.
