Turkey Halts All Trade with Zionist Entity, Closes Airspace to Its Aircraft (Minister)

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced on Friday that Turkey has decided to suspend all trade with the Zionist entity and close its airspace to aircrafts from the occupying force, which continues its aggressive actions against Gaza.

During an extraordinary parliamentary session focused on Gaza, as reported by Anadolu Agency, Fidan stated that Turkey has ceased all commercial transactions with the Zionist entity, restricted its airspace for the Zionist aircraft, and prohibited Turkish ships from accessing the ports of the occupier.

In his address, Fidan condemned the ongoing assaults by the Zionist occupation forces against Gaza and the forced displacement of its population, emphasizing that this entity has been “committing genocide in Gaza for two years, disregarding fundamental humanitarian values before the eyes of the world.”

He warned that the attacks by the occupation forces, which target not only Gaza but all of Palestine, could potentially ignite conflict throughout the entire region if not halted.

In this context, the minister denounced the Zionist strikes against neighboring countries, asserting that the “reckless” attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iran “are the clearest indication of a terrorist mentality that defies international order.”
