"Turkey has suspended all trade with Israel over its offensive in Gaza, citing the "worsening humanitarian tragedy" in the strip.
The Turkish trade ministry said the measures would be in place until Israel allowed an "uninterrupted and sufficient flow" of aid into Gaza.
Trade between the two countries was worth almost $7bn (£5.6bn) last year.
Israel's foreign minister accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of acting like a "dictator".
Israel Katz said on X that Mr Erdogan was "disregarding the interests of the Turkish people and businessmen and ignoring international trade agreements".
He added that he had instructed the foreign ministry to find alternatives for trade with Turkey, with a focus on local production and imports from other countries.
Turkish Trade Minister Omer Bolat criticised Israel's "uncompromising attitude" towards a ceasefire, as well as the humanitarian situation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah: "Turkey has suspended all export and import with Israel until a permanent ceasefire is established and the aid into the Gaza is allowed without any interruption."
Turkey halts trade with Israel over 'humanitarian tragedy' in Gaza
Officials say the measures will be in place until Israel allows an "uninterrupted and sufficient flow" of aid.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68945380"In its first significant measure against Israel since the war began, Turkey has announced it will not resume trade with Israel,worth $7 billion (€6.52 billion) a year, until a permanent cease-fire and humanitarian aid are secured in Gaza.
Israel's "uncompromising attitude" and the worsening situation in Gaza's southern Rafah region prompted Turkey to halt all exports and imports, Trade Minister Omer Bolat said Friday (May 3).
Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz criticised Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's move, saying it breaks international trade agreements and was "how a dictator behaves".
The militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza, praised the decision as brave and supportive of Palestinian rights.
Trade Minister Polat said Turkey decided to "stop exports and imports to and from Israel" and is negotiating with "our Palestinian brothers on alternative arrangements to ensure that they are not affected by this decision."
In April, Turkey already curbed exports of 54 product categories, including steel, fertilizer and jet fuel, over what it said was Israel's refusal to allow Ankara to take part in aid air-drop operations for Gaza.
All remaining trade, which amounted to $5.4 billion in Turkish exports and $1.6 billion in Israeli imports last year, is now halted. Top Turkish exports to Israel are steel, vehicles, plastics, electrical devices and machinery, while imports are dominated by fuels at $634 million last year..."
