ANKARA:  Turkey sees it as highly significant that Russia and China have signed its initiative to introduce an arms embargo against Israel, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

"China and Russia have both said that Israel's attacks are unjust and illegal. They also talk about the need to stop the attacks and settle the issue diplomatically. Russia and China have signed our joint initiative calling on the UN to take measures to stop the supply of arms and ammunition to Israel. This is an important step," the Anadolu news agency quoted Erdogan as saying after visits to Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan.

According to him, Israel "will become more and more aggressive if arms and ammunition supplies continue." "The humanitarian situation in Palestine and Lebanon will continue to deteriorate daily if Israel is not stopped. As long as humanitarian aid is not freely delivered, people will die there every day due to lack of medicine, hunger, thirst and merciless attacks," Erdogan pointed out.
