Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that Turkey’s
decision to cease trade with Israel was solely aimed at compelling the Israeli
government to agree to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Erdogan made these remarks during a meeting with the board
of directors of the Independent Industrialists and Businessmen Association in
Istanbul, as reported on the presidency’s website.
Erdogan emphasized that the Turkish government would
collaborate with the business community to manage the repercussions of halting
trade with Israel.
The decision to halt trade activities with Israel came in
response to what Turkey described as Israel’s “non-stop violence” against
Palestinians in Gaza.
