Turkey has halted all trade with Israel, citing the “worsening humanitarian tragedy” in the Palestinian territories, which prompted strong criticism from the Israeli foreign minister.

“Export and import transactions related to Israel have been stopped, covering all products,” Turkey’s trade ministry said late on Thursday.

“Turkey will strictly and decisively implement these new measures until the Israeli government allows an uninterrupted and sufficient flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza.”

Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, accused Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of acting like a “dictator” after the restrictions were first reported.

Its so refreshing to see actual data instead of people just constantly making shit up

Still verify when you can. AI will get better at spitting out graphics like this.

There is a very good reason I refused to argue with UNCOMTRADE - wherever I read that it was 79% has considerable less authority than even a 5 second search on COMTRADE.

Although it was a misreading, I do appreciate you making the effort to come back with a source.

Thank you for sticking to facts and data instead of accusation and personal assumptions

That says Turkish exports constituted 76% of the total bilateral trade amount between the two countries. They both have many larger trading partners separate from their bilateral trade relationship

Israel is 2.8% of Turkeys exports.

Quality post +1

Found the link- looks like 76% of Israel imports are Turkey exports. Excuse the .ml link

Interesting, other than it being linked to .ml, and the article being paywalled:

Trade between the countries was worth $6.8 billion in 2023, of which 76% was Turkish exports, according to the Turkish statistical institute.

Total trade between the two countries is worth $6.8, 76% of that $6.8 billion is made up Turkist exports. That doesn't mean that Israel buys 76% of Turkeys exported products.
