Turkey has begun enforcing new anti-Israel measures under the direction of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, resulting in the refusal of an Israeli-owned ZIM ship to dock at Istanbul Port. The vessel was redirected to Piraeus in Greece, leaving ZIM's cargo intended for Turkish ports without a solution. Turkish authorities have instructed ports to prohibit any connection to Israel, including cargo destined for the Palestinian Authority, and require ship-owners to declare no Israeli ties. International shipping companies are awaiting further clarification, as the measures appear to specifically target Israeli interests. These actions follow Turkey's earlier trade embargo and extend to a ban on Turkish ships sailing to Israel and vice versa.
