Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan had a telephone conversation with Italian Prime Minister
Giorgia Meloni Tueday in which he asked her to back Istanbul's
call for stopping arms shipments to Israel amid the Gaza and
Lebanon wars.
"Support from Italy could strengthen the initiative launched by
Turkey at the UN to stop the shipment of weapons to Israel", his
office said.
The Turkish leader added that "Turkey considered Italy's
response to Israeli aggression appropriate and stated that it
will continue to work for peace in the region", calling the
attacks of the Jewish state against Gaza and Lebanon
"unacceptable".
