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”. ⠀
Turkey exported $5.4bn of goods to Israel last year, making the Jewish state one of the country’s top-15 export destinations. Turkey was Israel’s fifth-biggest import partner, according to customs database Trade Data Monitor. ⠀
Turkey did not provide details on how it would carry out its ban, making it difficult to calculate the exact impact of the curbs. Metals and metal products were among Turkey’s biggest exports to Israel last year, accounting for hundreds of millions of dollars in trade.
