Turkey suspends all trade with Israel over war in Gaza

Turkey has suspended all trade with Israel over the war in Gaza. The trade ministry says the measures will be in place until Israel's government allows uninterrupted flow of aid into the region. Israel's Foreign Minister has criticised the decision and accused Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of acting like a dictator. It will likely worsen tensions between the two formerly close allies. In 1949, Turkey was the first Muslim-majority country to recognise Israel, but in 2010 the nation broke off diplomatic ties after ten pro-Palestinian Turkish activists were killed in clashes with Israeli commandos.
