Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged the pope on Monday to back international calls to impose sanctions on Israel for committing crimes against humanity in Palestine.

Erdogan told the pope that the world should come together against Israel's occupation and policies that violate the status of Jerusalem.
