Turkey has halted all trade with Israel, citing the “worsening humanitarian tragedy” in the Palestinian territories, which prompted strong criticism from the Israeli foreign minister.

Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, accused Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of acting like a “dictator” after the restrictions were first reported.

        That says Turkish exports constituted 76% of the total bilateral trade amount between the two countries. They both have many larger trading partners separate from their bilateral trade relationship
