Turkey halts trade with Israel over ‘humanitarian tragedy’ in Gaza

Turkey has suspended all trade with Israel in response to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, citing the worsening humanitarian situation in the area.

This suspension, initiated by Turkey’s trade ministry, will continue until Israel allows uninterrupted aid flow into Gaza.

The trade between the two nations, valued at nearly $7 billion last year, has been affected. Israel’s foreign minister criticized Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accusing him of authoritarian behavior and neglecting the interests of Turkish people and businesses.

The strained relations between Turkey and Israel have a history dating back to 2010 when Turkey broke diplomatic ties with Israel after clashes resulting in the deaths of Turkish activists.

Despite the restoration of relations in 2016, tensions have persisted, exacerbated by incidents such as the killing of Palestinians and Erdogan’s vocal criticism of Israel’s leadership, the BBC reported.
