Turkey's Erdogan calls on UN to recommend 'use of force' to stop Israeli attacks

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on the UN to recommend the use of force to stop Israeli strikes on Lebanon and Gaza.

Erdogan invoked a six-decade-old Security Council resolution.

“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 says after a cabinet meeting in Ankara.
