"We urge an expansion of this suspension and call on all countries to impose a complete arms embargo on Israel," Safadi said in a Post on X.
"Unless consequences are real, Netanyahu will not end h is aggression on Gaza and the West Bank, and will not stop violating intentional law and threatening the security of the whole region," the minister added.
