Ankara is raising the tones against Israel, and Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has recently taken the baton. Yesterday, at an extraordinary plenary session of the Turkish National Assembly for Gaza, Fidan not only warned that Israel’s policy is provoking a regional storm of tensions and conflicts, but announced that Turkey had stopped Turkey’s trade relations. “We have completely stopped trade with Israel. No Turkish ship is tied to Israeli ports and their planes have been blocked from our airspace, “he said, adding that” Israel’s ultimate goal is to make Gaza uninhabited and expel the Palestinians. ” This uncontrolled Israeli aggression could flood the whole area, Fidan said.

Conflict with footnotes

However, the initial statement by the head of Turkish diplomacy for a complete interruption of economic and trade relations with Israel was amended today by a Turkish diplomatic source. While Fidan said measures include suspending all trade and the overall closure of Turkish airspace for Israeli aircraft, the source told Reuters that the Turkish Foreign Minister was referring only to Israeli government flights and flights to weapons. “The minister’s comments refer to official Israeli flights and flights carrying weapons or ammunition to Israel. This is not the case for trade flights, “the source said.

The mind in Syria and in… Ukraine

Turkish analysts say that behind the clear deterioration of Turkey-Israel relations besides Gaza, where the situation is getting worse, the problem Syria lies and believe that the chance of Israel and Turkey will face Syria with a battlefield is not far away. Meanwhile, the Turkish president is going to China this weekend to attend the Sangai Cooperation Summit, a team led by China, India, Russia and Iran, which is described as a “alternative to NATO”. Turkey wants to join the team, but India is opposed to joining Ankara’s close relationship with Pakistan. Most importantly, Erdogan is expected to meet with President Putin on the sidelines of the Summit to discuss the Ukrainian. Ankara is always aspiring to be a mediator role in possible talks of Moscow and Kiev.
