Turkey's Erdogan tells Lebanese PM urgent international solution needed to stop Israel

ANKARA (Reuters) -Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati on Wednesday that the international community must urgently implement a solution to stop Israel's aggression, the Turkish presidency said, adding he had also voiced support for Lebanon.

A NATO member, Turkey has denounced Israel's devastating military offensive in Gaza prompted by Palestinian militant group Hamas' cross-border attack last Oct. 7.

Turkey halted all trade with Israel and applied to join a genocide case against Israel at the World Court. Israel has said the genocide accusations are baseless and has repeatedly denied targeting civilians.

"International solution ?".
This same Erdogan just called for Islamic alliance against Israel, which interprets to a "final solution" by "wiping Israel off the map".

Israel must be stripped of United Nations membership for failing to accept a two-state resolution to the conflict and allowing the return of Palestinian refugees to their homes, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told the General Assembly on Thursday.

“Israel, which refuses to implement United Nations resolutions, does not deserve to be a member of this international organization,” he said.

“We are going to submit an application to the UNGA on this matter,” he said.

Israel ‘has, from the very beginning, not fulfilled the conditions of membership because in 1949, when it submitted its application” for membership, the UN imposed two conditions, Abbas said.

Two conditions on Israel

The first is that Israel accepts Resolution 181, Abbas said as he referred to the text that backed the UN’s 1947 partition plan, which called for the territory that had been part of mandatory Palestine between the two world wars to be divided into a Jewish and Arab state.

The second condition, Abbas said, is that Israel accepts Resolution 194, which calls for the right of return for Palestinians who fled their homes during the 1948 war.

Abbas took the opportunity to call for the United Nations to recognize Palestine as a member state of the UN. The United States has blocked this move to date at the Security Council, which must approve such a step.

“How could the United States insist on depriving our people” of this fundamental right, he said.
