Erdogan Urges UN Sanctions on Israel
(TIME) Ishaan Tharoor - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told TIME in an interview: "Until today, the UN Security Council has issued more than 89 resolutions on prospective sanctions related to Israel, but they've never been executed.... One might wonder why no sanctions have been imposed on Israel. When it's Iran in question, you impose sanctions. Similarly with Sudan. What happens with Israel then?...I'd like all the parties involved to be sincere and stand behind those resolutions." "And that is actually also where reform is needed in the UN. What's the deal with these permanent-seat-holding members in the Security Council? They should be eliminated. The entire world is literally a slave to the decisions of these five permanent seat holders."
