The Turkish Trade Minister issued a statement on the continuation of the suspension of trade with Israel until a “stable ceasefire” is achieved in the Gaza Strip and the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid into the region is ensured.
“The Times Of Israel” writes about this.
Omer Bolat, speaking in Istanbul this morning, confirmed that the decision to suspend trade was taken in response to Israel’s “uncompromising position” and the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
Turkey said it would halt trade with Israel yesterday, viewing the move as the “second stage” of protest measures against the ongoing war in Gaza.
“Cursor” also wrote that Israel stopped Turkey’s attempt to send a “freedom flotilla” to the Gaza Strip. The ship was planned to deliver 5 thousand tons of humanitarian aid from Turkey to the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, Cursor reported that Katz responded to Turkey’s cessation of all exports and imports to Israel. According to Israeli official Katz, the Turkish president is behaving like a dictator.
On his page on the social network X, Katz expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of the dictator, who neglects the interests of his people and Turkish entrepreneurs, and also ignores international trade agreements.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also instructed the director general of his department to begin searching for alternative trade routes, focusing on local producers and imports from other countries, in collaboration with other departments.
