Israel’s UN envoy accuses Turkey of ‘malice’ over call for arms embargo on Israel
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations accuses Turkey of “malice,” after Ankara submitted a letter signed by 52 countries calling for a halt in arms deliveries to Israel over the war in Gaza, where it is battling the Hamas terror group.
“What else can be expected from a country whose actions are driven by malice in an attempt to create conflicts with the support of the ‘Axis of Evil’ countries,” says Ambassador Danny Danon, using a term that commonly refers to Iran and its allies.
Turkey’s foreign ministry said Sunday it had submitted the letter to the United Nations, with the signatories including the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
