1. According to [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-02/turkey-halts-all-trade-with-israel-officials), they have halted all trade. But, there is no official announcement yet.

2. Waiting for Netaniyahu to call it “unprecedent display of antisemitic inhuman hate”

3. Turkey has a massive trade imbalance re Israel, this is quite self-destructive, so the reason is almost certainly political desperation on Erdy’s part. I guess when the opposition is calling out Hamas for being terrorists, and *winning*, the only hope for the watermelon seller is courting the Islamists.

4. Atatürk is rolling in his grave

5. Good, now block all the trades with russia.

6. Okay cool, now withdraw *your* settlers from Cyprus, and apologise to Armenia.

   Your hypocrisy is disgusting, wannabe sultanate.

7. this is not correct at all.

8. They can still trade using Azerbaijan as a ‘middle man’ and no one would know or bother to report on it.

9. There is no ban on air cargo, as it would hurt Turkish Airways the most?

10. 400% inflation when?

11. Based Turkiye. Well done. Next ban any and all imports

12. After 7 months of bombing

13. And nothing of value was lost. Especially for Israel, LoL!

14. Good news.
    I hope they follow through with this but I wouldn’t put my money on it.

15. Good. Boycott, Divest, Sanction!

16. Good news, now the rest of Europe needs to sanction that rogue state.

17. People are delusional here, the opposition while not being friendly to Hamas still did criticize Erdogan before for not doing enough against Israel. Because even though you don’t like Hamas that doesn’t mean you should like Netanyahu

20. No problem. Erdoğan’s son will trade with his ships through shell companies abroad.
