Turkey has halted all trade with Israel, citing the “worsening humanitarian tragedy” in the Palestinian territories, which prompted strong criticism from the Israeli foreign minister.
“Export and import transactions related to Israel have been stopped, covering all products,” Turkey’s trade ministry said late on Thursday.
“Turkey will strictly and decisively implement these new measures until the Israeli government allows an uninterrupted and sufficient flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza.”
Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, accused Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of acting like a “dictator” after the restrictions were first reported.
At the surface level - itd call it moralistic at best.
Whether it was a good move - Israel is something like 76% of Turkey exports. You think that will bode well for jobs and general quality of life?Sorry, looks like it’s much less. Going to have to go back and check where I found that.
Edit: great, now confused. I think it’s 76% of Israel imports was turkey exports. Source is Bloomberg, but posted on .ml
