Recep Tayyip Erdogan is breaking agreements by blocking ports for Israeli imports and exports, Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz stated in his
X page.
"This is how a dictator behaves, disregarding the interests of the Turkish people and businessmen, and ignoring international trade agreements. I have instructed the Director General of the Israel MFA to immediately engage with all relevant parties in the government to create alternatives for trade with Turkey, focusing on local production and imports from other countries.
Israel will emerge with a strong and daring economy," Katz stated.
