Turkish President Reccep Tayyip Erdogan has said that the United Nations General Assembly should recommend the use of force, in line with a resolution it passed in 1950 if the UN Security Council fails to stop Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon, Reuters reports.

“The UN General Assembly should rapidly implement the authority to recommend the use of force, as it did with the 1950 Uniting for Peace resolution if the Security Council can’t show the necessary will,” Erdogan said after a cabinet meeting in Ankara.

He also urged Muslim countries to take economic, diplomatic and political steps against Israel to pressure it into accepting a ceasefire, adding that Israel’s attacks would target them too if it is not stopped soon.
