Turkey has decided to completely sever its economic and trade ties with Israel and has also closed its airspace to Israeli aircraft.

Turkey announced Thursday that it has severed all economic and trade relations with Israel, in a move Ankara says is a response to the war in Gaza.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that the measures include the suspension of all commercial exchanges and the closure of Turkish airspace to Israeli aircraft.

Fidan accused Israel of what he termed “massacres” against Palestinians in Gaza and charged that Israel is deliberately making the enclave uninhabitable. He further claimed that Israel is blocking humanitarian aid and warned that its policies endanger regional stability.

The minister said the decision reflects Ankara’s broader response to what it views as ongoing crimes in Gaza. He added that Turkey will continue to work with Qatar and Egypt in efforts to address the conflict.

Yet Turkey has applied to be part of the EU

EU is an economic bloc while NATO is a collective defense organisation, they are two distinct establishments with two distinct benefits

This one they call EU local tout!, one of the biggest economic bloc in the world

Same way Israel has been applying for African Union membership. Everything isn't about strength, Turkey only wanted EU membership for the economic benefits nothing more.

He knows what he is talking about. You are the one not getting it. As long as economy is concerned, EU membership is of greater value than NATO membership.

Exousiang01:
Israel has been applying, I think they got to attend some meetings as observers recently before the war.
You can read up at your spare time

IMPARTIAL:
But can you really blame Israel for this mess? Hamas caused it. They knew Israel would retaliate in full force when they contemplated attacking and kidnapping people from Israel on October 7. Did they think of the defenceless people in Gaza?

Na im we dey see so!
