[Collection]Turkey ceased all trade with Israel starting from Thursday, as reported by two Turkish officials who are knowledgeable about the situation, escalating the existing tensions between the former close allies due to the conflict in Gaza. The action extends the limitation imposed on certain Turkish exports to Israel last month, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan intensifies his criticism of the Jewish state.
