武器供給停止署名の国連提出 「悪意ある」イスラエル反発

【国連ＡＦＰ＝時事】トルコ外務省は３日、国連（ＵＮ）に対し、イスラエルへの武器供給の停止を求めて５２か国が署名した書簡を提出したと発表した。これを受け、イスラエルのダニー・ダノン国連大使は４日、書簡を提出したトルコには「悪意」があると非難した。（写真はイスラエルのダニー・ダノン国連大使）
　トルコが提出した署名には５２か国の他、アラブ連盟とイスラム協力機構（ＯＩＣ）も加わり、ガザ紛争を理由にイスラエルへの武器供給を停止するよう要求している。
　これに対し、ダノン大使は「『悪の枢軸』国家の支援を受け、悪意から紛争を引き起こそうとする国に期待することなど何もない」と、署名したアラブ諸国を指して軽蔑的な言葉を用いて書簡の提出を非難。
　「この書簡は、国連が正義や道徳的価値を支持する自由主義諸国ではなく、いくつかの悪意ある国々によって主導されていることを示すさらなる証拠だ」と述べた。
　ＡＦＰが４日に確認した書簡には、ガザ紛争での「想像を絶する」民間人の死者数は「耐え難く、容認できるものではない」とあり、また、「占領下のパレスチナ領での使用を疑うに足る合理的な根拠があるすべての場合について、占領国であるイスラエルに対する武器、弾薬および関連装備の提供または移転を直ちに停止する措置を講じるよう、われわれはこの集団的要求を行う」とあった。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations on Monday accused 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.
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, said Ambassador Danny Danon, using a pejorative term to describe the Arab countries who signed the letter.
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.
Israel has faced international criticism for the conduct of its war in Gaza, where its offensive has killed at least 43,374 people, most of them civilians, according to health ministry figures which the United Nations considers to be reliable.
The war was sparked by Palestinian armed group Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,206 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.
This letter is further proof that the UN is led by some sinister countries and not by the liberal countries that support the values of justice and morality, said Danon.
Turkey's letter, seen by AFP Monday, called the staggering civilian death toll unconscionable and intolerable.
We therefore make this collective call for immediate steps to be taken to halt the provision or transfer of arms, munitions and related equipment to Israel, the occupying Power, in all cases where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that they may be used in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the letter said.
It added that the UN Security Council (UNSC) must take steps to ensure compliance with its resolutions which are being flagrantly violated.
The UNSC called in March for a ceasefire in Gaza, but has struggled to speak with a unified voice on the issue due to the veto wielded by Israel's key ally, the United States.
Asked about the joint letter on Monday, the spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he had not seen it.
