Turkiye has escalated its measures against Israel by closing its airspace to Israeli government planes and banning the transit of arms shipments destined for the Israeli military. Ports in Turkiye are now closed to maritime trade involving Israel, including shipments passing through from third countries. This move follows a previous ban on direct trade between Turkiye and Israel, as the Turkish government continues to demand a permanent ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza. Trade between the two countries had previously reached $7 billion in 2023, highlighting the significance of these new restrictions.
