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.

    Fun fact. Azerbaijan and Israel are allies. Israel receives most of its Oil and Gas from Azerbaijan, Israeli drones helped murder Armenians in the last war and Israel has a deal going on with the azerbaijani oil and gas company to developed the Gas fields they want to steal from the Palestinians at the coast of Gaza.

    So if you want to be against genocide against Armenians it is a good way to go about being against supporting Israel.
