Erdogan Says Israel ‘Must Be Forced’ To Abide By Ceasefire Through Sanctions, Arms Embargo

Recent reports indicate concerns within the US government that Tel Aviv may be looking to torpedo the Gaza agreement

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the US to put more pressure on Israel to abide by the ceasefire in Gaza, while proposing the idea of sanctions or an arms embargo on Tel Aviv.

Erdogan made the comments on a return flight from Oman. According to an official readout, the Turkish president said Hamas was abiding by the deal.

“As Turkiye, we are doing our utmost for the ceasefire to be secured. The Hamas side is abiding by the ceasefire. In fact, it is openly stating its commitment to this. Israel, meanwhile, is continuing to violate the ceasefire,” the president told reporters.

“The international community, namely the US, must do more to ensure Israel’s full compliance with the ceasefire and agreement. Israel must be forced to keep its promises via sanctions, or halting of arms sales,” Erdogan added.

Ankara has been highly vocal about the Israeli genocide in Gaza. However, Turkiye has secretly maintained trade ties with Israel despite a ban announced by the country last year.
