Turkey's Ministry of Commerce assures critics, "Our trade with Israel is for Arabs, not Jews!"

Media in Turkey accused the government of increasing its trade with Israel in recent months. This prompted a strong denial.

The Ministry of Commerce stated that the claims that exports to Israel have increased do not reflect the truth. 

The statement pointed out that "trade with Israel is not limited to the Jewish region of Israel. It also includes trade with the 2.2 million Palestinians who are citizens of Israel, as well as the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip, which are under Israeli occupation There are 8 million Palestinian Arabs in Palestinian territory. There are 7.2 million Jews living in the territory of Israel. All goods going to the Palestinian region have to pass through Israeli customs and ports under the name of Israel." 

According to the information provided in the statement, while Turkey's total trade with Israel was 2.32 billion dollars in the period of October 7 - December 31, 2022, this figure decreased by 45 percent in the same period of 2023 to 1.28 billion dollars.

Yes, there has been much less trade since October 7, but until then Turkey's exports to Israel have been consistently increasing.

It is probably past time for Israel to act like others act towards her: cut off all trade with Turkey as long as it hosts and supports Hamas terrorists.
