52 UN member states have signed a letter calling for an immediate end to arms sales to Israel. In the letter, the countries called for a freeze on military exports to Israel, expressing concern over the ongoing violence in the Middle East and the suffering of Palestinian civilians.

Al Jazeera gave this news in a report on Saturday (November 9).

According to the report, the signatories expressed their growing concern about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and other Palestinian territories. The letter also emphasized the need for international pressure to stem the flow of arms that could escalate potential conflicts.

However, Israel has been rejecting the call of the international community. Even UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has been banned by Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Therefore, it is easy to imagine that Israel's military actions will not be affected by this initiative of 52 countries to stop arms sales. This call for Israel to sell arms is largely symbolic.

But the move could affect some countries' arms sales to Israel. Experts believe that some countries may reconsider their military cooperation with Israel. But major powers like the US and European allies are unlikely to change their policies.
