United Nations General Assembly Resolution 377

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called on Monday for the United Nations General Assembly to urgently consider using force in Gaza, invoking the 1950 Uniting for Peace resolution.

"Standing up for Palestine and Lebanon today means standing up for humanity, peace, and coexistence among different beliefs," Erdoğan said after a Cabinet meeting in capital Ankara.

Türkiye urged global support for Palestine's draft resolution that was submitted Tuesday to the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) demanding Israel end its presence in the occupied Palestinian territories within 12 months.

Turkey and Algeria have called for an emergency session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) to discuss and vote on a draft resolution on protection of Palestinians.
