Egypt joins Turkey call for Israel arms embargo

Cairo [Egypt], November 7: Egypt has joined a call led by Turkey and backed by dozens of countries, urging the UN to halt arms deliveries to Israel.
A Foreign Ministry statement said Egypt joined the call as part of "international efforts to pressure Israel to cease its continuous violations of international law and international humanitarian law".
It also aims to stop "Israeli violations" against Palestinians and protect civilians, the statement read.
Israel's ambassador to the UN Danny Danon on Monday accused Turkey of "malice," after Ankara submitted a letter signed by 52 countries calling for a halt in arms deliveries to Israel.
Meanwhile, Northern Gaza's Beit Lahiya town and Nuseirat refugee camp in the centre of the enclave have been the focus of Israeli attacks since dawn on Wednesday, according to Palestinian news outlets.
Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed at least 43,391 Palestinians and injured 102,347 since October 7, 2023. (Agencies)
