Erdogan is prepared to sacrifice Turkey’s economy to support Hamas, Foreign Minister Katz charges

Foreign Minister Israel Katz accuses Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of placing the interests of Hamas above those of Turkey’s economic well-being after Turkey announced it was restricting exports to Israel until a ceasefire is implemented in Gaza.

“Erdogan is once again sacrificing the economic interests of the people of Turkey for his support of Hamas,” Katz says, adding that in return, Israel “will respond accordingly and prepare an extended list of additional products that Israel will prevent Turkey from exporting.”
