Turkey-Israel relations at all-time low? | DW News

Turkey suspended all trade with Israel due to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Turkey’s trade ministry stated that “export and import transactions related to Israel have been stopped, covering all products.” It said the measures would stay in place until Israel allowed "an uninterrupted and sufficient flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza." The two countries had a trade volume of $6.8 billion (€6.3 billion) in 2023.
Turkey, one of the few Muslim-majority nations to recognize Israel, has seen large protests in support of Palestinians in Gaza. After years of thawing relations, Turkey has become one of the harshest critics of Israel's military operations in Gaza, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan branding Israel a "terrorist state."
On October 7, Hamas members attacked Israel, which resulted in the deaths of around 1,200 people. The militants also took over 200 people hostage. Israel launched a ground operation in Gaza shortly after to destroy Hamas. The militant group is classified as a terrorist organization by Israel, the US, and the EU, among others. More than 80% of the Gaza Strip's total population of 2.3 million has been displaced by the fighting, and the death toll in Gaza has reached more than 34,500 people.

[@merve6987]

Friends, instead of scolding Turkey for being late and writing your strange comments like you are a professor, you can go and start pressuring your own governments as Turks do to take similar steps. Also dear Armenians, stop talking about unproven accusations against Turkey. Armenia is not willing to engage in a confrontation or file a lawsuit against Turkey, despite Turkey's constant invitation. However, they want the whole world to recognize a genocide in which the number of so-called victims increases geometrically with each passing year, and they still demand land from the Turks. No one will believe an event that has no international proof and that you are unwilling to prove. Politicians' decisions do not make sense, you are already watching right now that politicians do not always choose the right thing. Go and read the words of Ovanes Kacaznuni, your first prime minister, it will be a sufficient answer for you. Although recently I heard that Pashinyan also started talking about the truth. While Turkish culture rose on the story of heroism after the First World War, your story was based on victimization. And you are still sitting where you are and even going backwards. Now give up this attitude, because the Turks can bring you peace, not those who feed on the tension between you and the Turks and pursue their own interests. We are border neighbors, and as our relations normalize, opportunities for Armenia's progress will grow. Learn from what happened with Azerbaijan and look forward with us, not behind.
