Turkey not easing Israel export ban: Report
Relaxing Turkey’s ban on exports to Israel is “out of the question” though companies have three months to fulfil existing orders via third countries, a Turkish Trade Ministry source has been quoted as saying by Reuters.
In a document seen by the news agency, the Trade Ministry outlined the three-month reprieve for companies exporting to Israel. Ankara introduced the trade ban with Israel last week.
Separately, Israel’s foreign minister claimed that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had retreated on his earlier position and lifted many of the trade restrictions he imposed on Israel, adding the lesson to draw was not to succumb to threats “of a dictator”.
Israeli claims of Ankara easing trade ban ‘absolutely fictional’: Turkish minister
Turkish Trade Minister Omer Bolat says Israeli claims of Ankara easing its trade ban with Israel are “absolutely fictional and have nothing to do with reality”. The ban with Israel will remain in place until a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and humanitarian aid flow to the region is secured, Bolat said on X.
