Turkey has moved to restrict exports to Israel of some industrial goods and commodities, as Ankara comes under mounting domestic pressure to show its opposition to the six-month war in Gaza.
The country’s trade ministry said on Tuesday that it would curb exports of 54 goods, including metals products, fuels and oils, and construction machinery, a day after Turkey’s foreign minister accused Israel of impeding attempts to airlift aid to “starving Gazans”.
The move will disrupt the flow of goods between two countries that have remained significant trading partners despite a bitter row over the Gaza war that was launched in response to Hamas’s October 7 attack.
