  • Turkey has halted trade with Israel, valued at $7 billion annually, until a permanent ceasefire and humanitarian aid are secured in Gaza, citing Israel's "uncompromising attitude" and worsening conditions in Gaza's Rafah region.
  • This move marks Ankara's strongest step yet following months of criticism of Israel's military campaign, impacting $5.4 billion in Turkish exports and $1.6 billion in imports last year.
