Effective immediately, Turkey will impose restrictions on the export of products from 54 different categories to Israel until a ceasefire is declared in Gaza, the Turkish Trade Ministry says.
In a statement following Ankara’s announcement that it would be taking measures after it said Israel rejected its request to take part in an aid airdrop, the ministry says the restrictions would include iron and steel products, construction equipment and products, machines and more.
Turkey, which openly supports the Hamas terror group, has sent tens of thousands of tons of humanitarian aid there since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7.
